TrustMAPP

Where does the security program actually stand, and can that be shown to the board? Those are the questions TrustMAPP is built to answer. The platform comes from Secure Digital Solutions Inc. of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and handles cybersecurity risk and compliance by automating a cycle: assess the security controls, report on them, plan improvements, then track how far they get.

Measuring control maturity continuously

A control maturity engine scores controls against supported security frameworks on an ongoing basis. TrustMAPP says the aim is a continuous view of program maturity instead of periodic manual assessments, and it contrasts its approach with governance, risk and compliance tools that mainly track audits completed and evidence collected.

Roadmaps, policies and risk

Roadmaps and tasks, with cost estimates attached to planned improvements in security posture, help teams decide where to invest. A policy manager checks that policies are followed, and the platform covers risk and compliance management, third-party risk management, CMMC and defense compliance, and benchmark comparisons.

Reporting for executives and the board

Board and executive reporting links security spending to business outcomes. Each stakeholder gets a tailored view, whether an analyst, an auditor, a CISO, an executive or a board director. Integrations, APIs, an evidence and audit hub and professional services round out the offer.
