About Cyber Assess Valydex™
Your Starting Point for Cybersecurity Assessment
Born from real-world experience with cybersecurity frameworks, Cyber Assess Valydex helps you get familiar with security concepts and identify areas that may benefit from further investigation or professional consultation.
How Cyber Assess Valydex™ Began
Cyber Assess Valydex started as an internal tool at iFeelTech to help us quickly understand and communicate our clients' cybersecurity posture.
The Problem
Working with the NIST 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework, we recognized how complicated it could be, especially for smaller businesses without dedicated IT security staff.
The Pattern
Most businesses knew they needed better cybersecurity, but didn't know where to start or what their actual gaps were. Existing options were either oversimplified or too expensive.
The Solution
We made our internal assessment tool publicly available to help businesses identify cybersecurity gaps in a clear, manageable way, without requiring specialized knowledge.
Our goal is simple: help businesses understand their cybersecurity starting point in a clear, manageable way, as a helpful first step before consulting with cybersecurity professionals.
