Flashpoint Launches Threat Intelligence Capability Assessment to Help Organizations Benchmark and Strengthen Intelligence Programs

Flashpoint announced the launch of its Threat Intelligence Capability Assessment, a new, no-cost, interactive tool designed to help organizations understand how their intelligence function operates today and how to strengthen it in measurable, practical ways that reduce blind spots and increase intelligence-driven threat mitigation across the organization.

How the Assessment Goes Beyond Traditional Maturity Models

Unlike traditional “maturity” assessments that focus on tooling, team size, or abstract labels, Flashpoint’s Threat Intelligence Capability Assessment centers on evaluating intelligence across the full intelligence lifecycle, including priority intelligence requirements (PIRs) and tasking, collection and discovery, analysis and prioritization, dissemination and action, and continuous feedback and retasking. The result is a clearer picture of whether the intelligence function is reactive or purpose-driven, siloed or coordinated, informative or operationalized.

“As cyber threats grow in scale, complexity, and impact, organizations need a clear understanding of how effectively intelligence supports their ability to detect high-priority risks and respond with speed,” said Josh Lefkowitz, CEO of Flashpoint. “This assessment helps teams move beyond a score to understand what’s holding them back, where to focus next, and how to turn intelligence into action.”

From Assessment Results to Actionable Guidance

Based on user responses, organizations are mapped to one of four capability stages-Developing, Maturing, Advanced, or Leader-reflecting how intelligence flows across their environment today. Rather than stopping at classification, the assessment delivers a personalized results package that includes:

  • Insight into constraints and gaps limiting intelligence impact
  • Top strategic priorities aligned to the organization’s current stage
  • Immediate, practical actions teams can take
  • A 90-day planning worksheet to help translate insight into execution

The assessment also acknowledges that intelligence maturity is rarely uniform across an organization. Teams can apply guidance by function, such as cyber threat intelligence, vulnerability intelligence, fraud, or physical security, rather than relying on a single, static label.

Take the Assessment

The Threat Intelligence Capability Assessment takes less than five minutes to complete, and is now available at no cost. The assessment is intended for security leaders, threat intelligence teams, risk managers, and decision-makers looking to benchmark and strengthen how intelligence supports operational and strategic decisions.
