Benchmarked Against Global & Local Standards

Global Cybersecurity Best Practices, Tailored to Local Reality

CHI evaluates every response using a standards-aligned scoring model that mirrors the world’s most trusted cybersecurity frameworks. Each business is assessed against internationally recognized benchmarks such as NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), ISO/IEC 27001, and CIS Critical Security Controls, ensuring that the Cyber Health Index reflects not just opinion—but industry-proven methodology.

At the same time, CHI incorporates local regulatory requirements relevant to each country or sector, including data protection laws, financial sector guidelines, government cybersecurity mandates, and SME-specific risk expectations. This dual approach ensures businesses receive guidance that is both globally robust and locally compliant.

Key capabilities include:

  • Framework Alignment — Automatically maps organizational practices to NIST, ISO 27001, CIS, and other globally acknowledged standards.
  • Local Compliance Awareness — Identifies gaps tied to national data privacy laws, sector-specific requirements, and regional cyber policies.
  • Realistic Business Comparison — Benchmarks organizations against peers of similar size, maturity, and industry.
  • Unified Compliance View — Provides one clear understanding of where a business stands, avoiding complexity and fragmented interpretations.

By blending global frameworks with localized requirements, CHI delivers a cybersecurity benchmark that is accurate, practical, and relevant to real-world business environments—something most SMEs have never had access to before.
