Map Your Average Score
to a Maturity Level
1.0 – 1.9
Critical Risk
Significant security gaps exist. Immediate remediation required across multiple domains. Recommend a full SurfaceHawk assessment within 30 days.
2.0 – 2.9
High Risk
Basic controls exist but are inconsistent. Your organization is vulnerable to common attack vectors. Prioritize the two lowest-scoring domains immediately.
3.0 – 3.5
Moderate Risk
Formal processes exist but operational maturity is uneven. Focus on measurement, automation, and closing gaps in your weakest domains.
3.6 – 4.2
Managed
Strong security posture with room for optimization. Target specific improvements in lower-scoring domains and advance automation.
4.3 – 5.0
Optimized
Industry-leading security posture. Focus on continuous improvement, threat hunting, and advanced capabilities.
3.0 – 3.5
Critical
Level 2: Defined
Formal processes are in place. Focus on SOAR automation, detection engineering maturity, and building measurable KPIs to advance to managed operations.

This Assessment Gives You a
Preliminary View.
A full SurfaceHawk engagement goes deeper than any self-assessment — uncovering what your scanners miss, mapping risk to business impact, and delivering a prioritized roadmap with owners and budgets.
Comprehensive Attack Surface Discovery
Including what your scanners miss — shadow IT, misconfigured assets, and exposed attack paths your current tooling doesn't see.
Beyond scanner coverage
Threat-Informed Risk Scoring
Mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and scored by business impact — not just CVSS scores. Risk language your leadership can act on.
MITRE ATT&CK mapped
Compliance Gap Analysis
Against NIST CSF, HIPAA, PCI, CMMC, and SOC 2 — with specific control gaps identified and mapped to remediation owners.
NIST CSF · HIPAA · PCI · CMMC · SOC 2
Prioritized Remediation Roadmap
30-60-90 day action plan with owners and budgets — not a list of findings, but a structured path to measurable risk reduction.
30-60-90 day plan with owners & budgets
Executive Risk Briefing
Board-ready presentation with peer benchmarking — translating technical findings into business risk language for leadership.
Board-ready with peer benchmarking
Measurable Risk Reduction
Structured remediation that delivers quantifiable outcomes — not just a report that sits on a shelf.
Average 73% risk reduction within 6 months
Average delivery: 14 business days. Average risk reduction: 73% within 6 months.
