The alliance combines CohnReznick’s integrated cybersecurity and privacy consulting expertise with CMMI’s globally accepted maturity standards. The firms will leverage the CMMI® Cybermaturity Platform, which takes a risk-based approach to measuring and managing security risk, with CohnReznick’s best-in-class risk management approaches.
With CMMI Cybermaturity Platform as an instrumental part of the solution, CohnReznick is offering a consistent approach and standard scorecard to enable cybersecurity leaders to quantify their risk exposure to their board members and executives. The solution includes helping organizations conduct enterprise-wide risk and maturity assessments, develop risk profiles and maturity targets, and develop and implement a risk-based prioritized roadmap and the means to track their progress against needed improvements over time.
The CMMI Cybermaturity Platform is a Cloud-hosted platform that lets enterprises put the proven CMMI methodology to work for them, designed with the scalable efficiency to let organizations evaluate their entire enterprise unit by unit. The platform provides an evidence risk-based approach for quantifying goals, status, and progress against the CMMI maturity standards while creating a prioritized roadmap to let them focus efforts in the areas that matter most.
CohnReznick provides third-party objectivity that helps decision makers identify enterprise impact beyond the security and privacy risks and bridge the gap of how to operationalize processes and policies to avoid inherent risks.
“We are excited about our strategic alliance with CohnReznick,” stated Doug Grindstaff, ISACA CMMI Institute’s senior vice president of cybersecurity solutions. “The combination of their cybersecurity and privacy advisory expertise and the CMMI Cybermaturity Platform technology will be a powerful solution. Our organizations share a strategic, risk-based approach to helping companies protect their data assets, intellectual property and brand reputation. We embrace the importance of helping cybersecurity leaders understand security risks in the context of their business strategy and enabling their board members and executive leadership to take a prioritized, risk-based approach to governance and strategy.”
“Having been involved with CMMI since the early 1990s, when software engineering maturity was the focus area, I am very excited for this alliance focusing on a cybersecurity risk management program,” said CohnReznick Principal and Cybersecurity and Privacy National Leader Shahryar Shaghaghi. “Specific to cybersecurity, there are several standards and frameworks in the market that are not as comprehensive and risk-based. This solution establishes a continuous process improvement and a great reporting capability to help organizations identify, manage, report, and continuously advance their cyber-risk mitigation strategies. The alliance with CMMI will help CohnReznick enhance the value we bring to our clients.”
