Structured evaluations
to know where you stand 

To reach your goal, you need to know where to start. That’s where our current state assessment comes in: structured, project-based evaluations against a chosen standard, framework, or regulation.

During the assessment, we review your security policies, practices, and procedures to uncover gaps between where you are and where you need to be. Once those gaps are identified, we create a prioritized roadmap with clear, actionable steps to address those gaps and help you make measurable, concrete improvements to your security.

Our current state assessments are short-term and focused. The process begins with documentation review, interviews, and, when needed, process walkthroughs. Our independent experts bring deep regulatory and technical knowledge to measure your current state against the requirements of relevant security standards, frameworks, or regulations.

We examine your organization’s security management practices, the controls you have in place, and your ability to protect mission-critical functions and assets against modern cyberattacks.

“Findings presented in clear language to secure buy-in and drive real change.”

To give you clarity and a strong foundation for improvement, we offer our current state assessment as one comprehensive package. At the end of the project, you will receive a detailed report outlining gaps between your current security posture and your compliance objectives, a prioritized roadmap of achievable and impactful activities to close those gaps, and a presentation tailored for senior leadership or financial decision-makers.

With this combination of deliverables, your organization will be set up to make meaningful improvements to your security operations. Most assessments take between 10 and 25 days, depending on the target regulation or framework and organizational complexity.

If you are budget-constrained, our consultants are happy to help define a scope for the assessment in a way that focuses your resources where they count the most – making improvements to your security.

Whether you’re trying to implement the latest ISO or NIST standard, or you’re grappling with the impacts of recent legislation like NIS2, DORA, or the CRA – we can help you find a clear path forward toward your primary goal: better security.

Domains

Our advisory services cover a wide range of security frameworks, standards, and regulations. While each framework, standard, and regulation is distinct, there is often significant overlap in requirements and core principles.

Regulations are laws or rules created by government authorities to control or manage security.

• NIS2
• DORA
• CRA
• CER
• EU AI Act
• GDPR
• NYDFS 500

Frameworks and standards establish a common method of approaching security in a systematic way.

• ISO 27001
• NIST CSF
• IEC 62443

Our consultants are always eager to build expertise in new areas. If you are working on implementing a framework or standard that isn’t listed above, just reach out, and we will be happy to help you with your security transformation journey.

Q&A: Current State Assessment 

When do I need a Current State Assessment?

Our Current State Assessment (CSA) is ideal when you’re uncertain about your compliance with new regulations or what’s required to meet your next security objective. If you’re facing regulations like CRA, NIS2 or DORA, seeking budget approvals for improved security, or just need visibility as a new CISO, our CSA can help shine a light on your current security posture.

What do I get from a Current State Assessment?

You’ll receive a report detailing your current security practices, a prioritized roadmap for improving those practices, and a presentation for senior leadership or financial decision-makers to help fund those improvement efforts. This output is specifically designed to guide and support your security improvements over the next year or two.

Can you help me choose suppliers?

We can help build criteria or define a process for supplier evaluation, but we don’t partner with or recommend suppliers. The final call is yours.

How long does an assessment take?

It can vary, depending mostly on the size of your organization and the standard, framework, or regulation you’re looking to align with. Most organization-wide assessments take between 10 and 25 days, but we can adjust the scope to meet your budget.

Hands-on help for driving change and building independent capability

When you know what needs to be done, we are there to help you execute. This service gives you hands-on support to design, develop, and put security policies or practices into action. We help you tackle your toughest cybersecurity challenges by driving positive change in your organization, providing a flexible team of security specialists that adapts to your needs.

During an Implementation Support engagement, our consultants work directly with your team to help achieve specific security goals like building a supplier security management program, implementing secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) practices, or achieving compliance with standards and regulations.

We can assist you with policy creation or refinement, procedure and control design, and process deployment support through workshops and training programs. For organizations that have regulatory compliance obligations, we help shape your controls and procedures to meet the requirements of any cyber regulations, including NIS2, DORA, or CRA.

“We turn your roadmap into tangible improvements that stick.”

Implementation Support is at the heart of what we do. Our experience spans secure software development, business resilience, incident response and crisis management, risk management, and secure system design.

We scope each engagement carefully and assign specialist consultants with the right expertise for every phase of your project, so you don’t pay for on-the-job training. Our experts will embed within your team for as long as you need to get your security practices up and running independently.

We don’t just create policies and walk away. Instead, we partner with you to build security practices that integrate seamlessly with your business practices so you can quickly improve your security baseline. This approach helps you maintain control and sustain improvements without relying on long-term external resources.

Q&A: Implementation Support

How long do implementation support engagements typically last?

Typical engagements are up to four days a week for six months, sometimes up to a year. We’re flexible and can make things work with your budget and security objectives.

Does this service include project management?

Yes, if you need it. Our structured delivery model includes optional project management services that can be tailored to the engagement’s complexity and your internal capacity.

How do you manage a dynamic workforce?

You shouldn’t pay for consultants to learn on the job, so we build your custom project plan to ensure the right expert is assigned to your organization when you need it. For example, after three months of business resilience program development, you may need to shift focus to supplier security management. We can seamlessly switch consultants with relevant experience to your project while still aligning with your budget, meaning you get the best outcomes for your money.

What makes your service different?

Our consultants do more than just fill staffing gaps. They combine deep cybersecurity expertise with strong project management skills to drive change, build independent capability in your organization, and foster long-term success that doesn’t rely on endless staff augmentation contracts.

Strategic guidance when you need it

Whether you need to make sure you’re on the right path or you just need to bounce ideas off an expert, Reversec’s Trusted Advisor service gives you access to an experienced security leader without paying for a full-time resource.

It’s a light-touch model designed for faster, better decisions when you need strategic or tactical guidance. You gain access to an expert who understands your organization, your security objectives and obligations, and the real risks to your business – helping you make risk-informed decisions that balance compliance and practical security.

Our model is flexible and structured around your needs. One of our experienced senior or principal consultants can be scheduled to provide monthly or bi-monthly meetings, with ad-hoc access when critical decisions arise.

Typical engagements are structured around a retainer of 10 to 20 days per year to use as you need them, giving you predictable costs without requiring long-term commitment.

This model is ideal for startups or scale-ups moving from scrappy to structured, or for organizations undergoing major change that need seasoned mentorship without the cost burden of a full-time specialist resource.

“Leverage our offensive-driven security expertise while keeping costs down.”

Your trusted advisor can assist you through strategic security consulting, participation in steering committees, interpretation of frameworks and regulations, and prioritizing security efforts by impact and achievability.

Deliverables include decision memos, backlog triage, KPIs, and control mapping. Our trusted advisors combine strategic insight with technical depth, ensuring decisions are grounded in addressing real-world attack paths rather than theory.

Whether your challenges involve stakeholder communication, emerging threats, or strategic decision-making – our Trusted Advisor model helps you navigate the security landscape with confidence.
