STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...

  • The latest quick edition of the Cloud Risk Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.

Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…

  • Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation

Then find your goals...


STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 992 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Cloud Risk improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 992 standard requirements:

  1. What are the different types of testing and validation methods we can use to evaluate the security posture of our cloud-based penetration testing and vulnerability management solutions, such as dynamic application security testing (DAST), static application security testing (SAST), and interactive application security testing (IAST)?

  2. What are the key security controls and configurations we need to validate in our cloud-based penetration testing and vulnerability management solutions to ensure they align with our organization's security policies and compliance requirements?

  3. How do we ensure that our cloud-based penetration testing and vulnerability management solutions are integrated with our existing security information and event management (SIEM) systems to provide a comprehensive view of our security posture?

  4. How do we ensure that our cloud-based penetration testing and vulnerability management solutions are configured to identify and prioritize vulnerabilities based on business risk and potential impact on our organization?

  5. What are the implications of using a cloud-based CASB to monitor and control access to cloud resources that are hosted in different regions or countries, and how can we ensure compliance with local laws and regulations?

  6. What are the industry-recognized frameworks and standards we should use to validate the security posture of our cloud-based penetration testing and vulnerability management solutions, such as NIST, CIS, or ISO 27001?

  7. What are the key considerations we should take into account when validating the security posture of our cloud-based penetration testing and vulnerability management solutions for serverless computing environments?

  8. What are the different types of secure coding practices we should use to validate the security posture of our cloud-based penetration testing and vulnerability management solutions for custom-built applications?

  9. What are the cloud security requirements for data warehousing and business intelligence systems that process sensitive data, such as personally identifiable information (PII) and sensitive personal data (SPD)?

  10. What are the authentication and authorization mechanisms used by cloud-based application security testing tools, and how do we ensure they align with our organization's identity and access management policies?

  • 62 step-by-step Cloud Risk Project Management Form Templates covering over 1500 Cloud Risk project requirements and success criteria:

Examples; 10 of the check box criteria:

  1. Cost Baseline: Have all approved changes to the cost baseline been identified and impact on the Cloud Risk project documented?

  2. Risk Management Plan: Costs associated with late delivery or a defective product?

  3. Executing Process Group: How do you enter durations, link tasks, and view critical path information?

  4. Stakeholder Management Plan: Is the assigned Cloud Risk project manager a PMP (Certified Cloud Risk project manager) and experienced?

  5. Closing Process Group: What were things that you did very well and want to do the same again on the next Cloud Risk project?

  6. Team Member Performance Assessment: How do you use data to inform instruction and improve staff achievement?

  7. Activity Duration Estimates: Do procedures exist describing how the Cloud Risk project scope will be managed?

  8. Project Schedule: Are activities connected because logic dictates the order in which others occur?

  9. Milestone List: Describe the concept of the technology, product or service that will be or has been developed. How will it be used?

  10. Cost Management Plan: What is your organizations history in doing similar tasks?

Results

With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any Cloud Risk project with this in-depth Cloud Risk Toolkit.

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:

  • Diagnose Cloud Risk projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices
  • Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals
  • Integrate recent advances in Cloud Risk and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Cloud Risk investments work better.

This Cloud Risk All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
