Cyber CAT is KPMG Channel Islands Limiteds proprietary toolkit that enables an enterprise to perform a self-assessment of its cyber security posture. Cyber CAT enables management to perform a self-assessment of their organisations cyber security in a repeatable and measurable manner.The toolkit focuses on two key dimensions:
- Cyber risk exposure - assesses the organisations risk exposure based on macro factors (such as industry, nature of business and business channels).
- Cyber security preparedness - assesses the current readiness of the organisation across cyber security domains such as cyber governance, cyber risk management and cyber response & investigation.
The Cyber CAT toolkit is designed to provide senior management and CXOs a quantitative view of the organisations current positioning with respect to cyber risk exposure, Cyber Exposure Index ("CEI") and cyber security preparedness Cyber Preparedness Index ("CPI").
Cyber CAT is agnostic to the sector, size or maturity level of an organisation on the cyber security journey.The assessment enables management to monitor cyber risk at a strategic level and develop a strategy for effective cyber risk management. This also provides management the ability to benchmark their progress on the cyber security journey.
