Pondurance announced the acquisition of Rockwall,
Texas-based advisory and assessment services provider Bearing
Cybersecurity.
Under this agreement, Pondurance will integrate Bearing Cybersecurity's
flagship cloud-based platform, MyCyberScorecard, into its portfolio of
advisory and managed services solutions. MyCyberScorecard analyzes and
visualizes an organization's cyber exposure to make it easy to identify and
prioritize the most significant gaps
while developing a plan for cyber resilience.
Pondurance
customers can now access this dynamic SaaS
solution to have a more streamlined and efficient
cybersecurity assessment process that aligns with both internal and external
standards and compliance requirements. The platform's assessment capabilities
deliver a health score (MyCyberScore) that highlights potential corporate
cybersecurity gaps and provides important remediation recommendations.
Additional
customer benefits include:
- Accelerated mitigation of cybersecurity gaps and greater cyber resilience
- Compliance with industry and regulatory standards
including NIST 800-53, NIST CSF, CIS CSC, CMMC, PCI, HIPAA, and NYDFS 500
- Insight into current cybersecurity posture via a MyCyberScore
- Graphics showing cyber gaps with Dashboards and
Heatmaps
- Confirmation that third-party and supply chain
vendors are conforming to security standards
"One
of many issues in the industry is the disconnect between cyber risk and cyber
operations, especially when security policies and
controls should be aligned to drive security operations but are often
not," said Doug Howard, CEO of Pondurance. "Joining these components and
operationally aligning them to reduce risk by understanding your largest cyber
gaps is critical. The MyCyberScorecard is a foundational element for
Pondurance's vision to help customers close these gaps."
Traditionally,
organizations had to rely on the organized sharing of information from
disparate resources. MyCyberScorecard simplifies that process by collecting
information into a single portal that provides a point-in-time
integrated assessment of security operations to determine potential gaps and
compliance challenges. With MyCyberScorecard, Pondurance customers will receive
intelligent cyber health scores that provide the insight necessary to more
effectively manage risk on an ongoing basis. With this solution, customers can be
confident they are on the right path while having instant feedback on how
policy changes could affect security.
