Overview
The project assessed an organisation's cybersecurity posture by mapping findings to relevant NIST controls and scoring risk across identified weaknesses. The work produced a consolidated risk register and a slide deck summarizing control gaps, risk ratings, and suggested remediation priorities.
What I've accomplished
I completed a set of assessment activities that established context, identified gaps against NIST controls, and produced a risk register and presentation for senior stakeholders.
