“We know we have gaps, but we don’t know where to start to close them.” We hear this sentence regularly. Not from companies that neglect their cybersecurity, but from IT managers, CISOs, and managing directors who have already invested in their IT security — for example in a SOC, an XDR solution, firewalls, or employee training. The technology is in place, but the overall strategy is missing.
It is precisely for situations like these that we at dacoso developed the Cyber Resilience Index (CRI). This metric provides a measurable, transparent, and dialogue‑based method to assess a company’s actual security maturity and translate it into concrete actions. In this article, you will learn what lies behind it, how the CRI differs from traditional audits, and who can benefit from it the most.
