Security posture
Security posture is the overall state of an organization’s security: the controls in place, how well they operate, the exposures that remain and the ability to detect and respond.
Extended definition
In more detail.
Posture is assessed, not declared. A posture review examines controls across identity, endpoints, network, data, vendors, monitoring, response and recovery, rates findings by consequence and produces a view that leadership, customers and insurers can act on. Posture changes continuously, so the review is repeated and its trend reported.
In our work
Where it appears.
Security posture reviews establish the baseline that executive risk reporting then tracks.
