Dynamically Generate Digital Risk Questionnaires Substantiated with Evidence

Use external attack surface, digital risk, and security rating information to create a customized questionnaire that only asks questions relevant and specific to the organization's digital assets rather than a generic set of questions that may not always be applicable.

This dynamically tailored approach enables organizations to identify potential security risks, reduce the likelihood of missing critical vulnerabilities, and prioritize security efforts to focus on the areas that pose the most significant threat.

With Assessments, Ratings, and Targeted Questionnaires, organizations are empowered with a complete and up-to-date understanding of their external attack surface and digital risk to efficiently address security holes, investigate a breach, minimize the impact of a breach, and effectively respond to an attack.

Dynamically Generate Evidence-Based Questions

Digital Presence Discovery and Assessment dynamically generate and substantiate each question.

The ThreatNG Correlation Evidence Questionnaire (CEQ) empowers organizations even further after an assessment in addressing all potential security risks and ensuring that the assessment process is efficient, accurate, and tailored to the organization's specific needs.

This capability is essential for managing the security and risk of an organization and its entire ecosystem of third parties and supply chain for several reasons:

Customized Questionnaires: The ability to dynamically generate evidence-based questions empowers users to address the security and risk concerns specific to the organization and its ecosystem.

Improved Accuracy: Organizations can accurately assess the security and risk of an organization and its ecosystem by using evidence-based questions from discovery and assessment results.

Increased Efficiency: Evidence-based questionnaires reduce the time and resources needed to assess security and risk. Organizations no longer have to go through generic questionnaires that may not be relevant to their needs. The solution can generate a customized questionnaire in a fraction of the time it would take to create one manually.

Supply Chain Visibility: Organizations can seamlessly discover, assess, and further investigate throughout their ecosystem, including third parties and the supply chain, with targeted questions.

Questions are Provided in Context

Questions are provided in the context of the impacted functional assets and pillars to facilitate seamless communication and collaboration across departments.

The ThreatNG Correlation Evidence Questionaire (CEQ) dynamically generates questions from external attack surface management, digital risk assessment, and security rating results in the context of the impacted function and assets. An ability that enables organizations to better manage resources, boost transparency, and develop customized risk mitigation methods.

Improved Understanding of Risks: By presenting the results of the digital risk assessment in the context of the impacted function and assets, organizations can better understand the potential impact of security risks on their operations. This improved understanding can help organizations prioritize their security efforts and make informed decisions about where to allocate resources.

Tailored Risk Mitigation: The context-specific information in the questionnaire facilitates the creation of tailored risk mitigation strategies. 

Better Resource Allocation: Providing the questionnaire in the context of the impacted function and assets allows organizations to allocate resources more effectively. For example, by identifying an asset as a financial entity at risk, the organization can allocate resources to improve security in that area, thereby reducing the risk of financial loss.

Increased Transparency: By presenting the results of the digital risk assessment in the context of the impacted function and assets, organizations can increase transparency and provide a clear picture of their security posture, building trust with stakeholders and demonstrating a commitment to security.

External Attack Surface Management (EASM)

Assessment results, ratings, and the questionnaire can help organizations comprehensively understand their external security posture and take steps to mitigate risk.

  • Map the External Attack Surface: Map the organization's external attack surface by identifying all the entry points for external attackers. The evidence-based questions and context-specific information can help to identify areas where the organization may be vulnerable to external attacks.

  • Assess External Risks: Questionnaire results can help determine if an organization is externally at risk and prioritize risk mitigation efforts.

  • Evaluate External Security Posture: The evidence-based questions and context-specific information can help to identify areas where the security posture may be weak and prioritize security improvements.

Digital Risk Protection

The questionnaire can help further identify risks, assess security posture, monitor compliance, consult with stakeholders, and improve incident response planning for digital risk protection.

  • Identify and Assess Risks: Relevant questions help identify at-risk digital assets and prioritize risk mitigation efforts.

  • Evaluate Security Posture: The context-specific information and evidence-based inquiries can help to identify potential weak points in the security posture and set priorities for security enhancements.

  • Improve Incident Response Planning: The answers to the questionnaire can be used to identify potential weak points for the business or the person and to set priorities for incident response planning efforts.

Third Party Risk Management (TPRM)

Evaluate the security posture of third-party partners, assess risks, monitor compliance, improve due diligence, and communicate with stakeholders with the questionnaire.

  • Evaluate Third-Party Security Posture: Evaluate the security posture of an organization's third-party partners, suppliers, and contractors. The evidence-based questions and context-specific information can help to identify areas where the third-party security posture may be weak and prioritize security improvements.

  • Assess Third-Party Risks: Evaluate any risks posed by partners, suppliers, and contractors from outside sources. The context-specific information and questions based on evidence can aid in identifying potential risk areas for the company and helping to prioritize risk mitigation actions.

  • Monitor Third-Party Compliance: Track adherence to rules and procedures governing third-party security. The business can ascertain whether its third-party partners comply with applicable security requirements by examining the survey results.

  • Improve Third-Party Due Diligence: The questionnaire may enhance the due diligence procedure for suppliers, contractors, and third-party partners. The firm can use the questionnaire to comprehend the third-party security posture and take precautions to reduce risk.

  • Evaluate Digital Footprint: Evaluate an organization's digital footprint and identify areas where the organization's brand may be at risk. By analyzing the questionnaire results, the organization can identify areas where its brand may be exposed and prioritize efforts to protect it.

  • Assess Online Reputation: Analyze the company's internet reputation and pinpoint online brand risks. The evidence-based inquiries and context-specific data can assist in identifying potential areas where the organization's reputation may suffer and prioritize mitigation actions.

  • Monitor Brand Misuse: Monitor the use of an organization's brand and identify instances of brand misuse by analyzing the questionnaire results.

  • Improve Brand Awareness: With questionnaire responses that are evidence-based and context-specific, you can give stakeholders a clear picture of an organization's digital footprint and contribute to their trust.

Brand Protection

Use the questionnaire to evaluate an organization's digital footprint, assess its online reputation, monitor brand misuse, improve brand awareness, and communicate with stakeholders. With ThreatNG assessment, ratings, and the questionnaire, organizations can comprehensively understand their brand exposure and take steps to protect their brand.

Due Diligence

The dynamically generated questionnaire generated from ThreatNG assessment and ratings can be used for due diligence purposes to evaluate third-party risk, assess supply chain risk, conduct background checks, evaluate mergers and acquisitions, and identify gaps in the due diligence process. Empowered with answers from an evidence-backed questionnaire, organizations can understand the risk associated with third-party vendors, suppliers, and partners and take steps to mitigate that risk.

  • Evaluate Third-Party Risk: Evaluate the risk associated with third-party vendors, suppliers, and partners. By analyzing the questionnaire results, an organization can identify areas where the third party may pose a threat and prioritize efforts to mitigate that risk.
