CTI Maturity Assessment
Evaluate and Enhance Your Cyber Threat Intelligence Capabilities
A Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) Maturity Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of your organisation's threat intelligence processes, capabilities, and effectiveness. Unlike a SOC assessment which focuses on security operations as a whole, a CTI assessment specifically examines how well your organisation collects, analyses, and utilises threat intelligence to enhance your security posture.
Our assessment is based on the CTI Capability Maturity Model (CTI-CMM), a structured framework that evaluates your threat intelligence programme across multiple domains and maturity levels.
Why Conduct a CTI Maturity Assessment?
- Identify gaps in your threat intelligence capabilities
- Benchmark your CTI programme against industry standards
- Prioritise investments in your threat intelligence infrastructure
- Enhance decision-making with actionable intelligence
- Develop a roadmap for continuous CTI programme improvement
- Demonstrate value to stakeholders and leadership

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a CTI Maturity Assessment take?
Typically, a comprehensive assessment takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your organisation.
Is this the same as a SOC Maturity Assessment?
No. While there is some overlap, a CTI Maturity Assessment specifically focuses on your threat intelligence capabilities, processes, and integration, rather than your overall security operations centre.
What preparation is needed before the assessment?
We'll provide a checklist of documentation and stakeholders we'd like to include in the assessment process. This typically includes CTI strategy documents, intelligence requirements, process documentation, and access to key personnel.
How often should we conduct a CTI Maturity Assessment?
We recommend conducting a full assessment annually, with quarterly progress reviews on your improvement roadmap.
