Cyber security standards can be complex, with many options and approaches to choose from. QinetiQ’s Cyber Maturity Review helps organisations cut through this complexity by providing a clear, evidence-based assessment of their cyber posture, benchmarked against relevant standards such as ISO 27001, the NIST Cyber Security Framework or the EU Network and Information Systems Directive.

Our approach begins with a consultant-facilitated workshop to understand your systems, controls and culture. We then carry out a structured review of your arrangements, assessing risk management, roles and responsibilities, vulnerability management, and awareness training. Findings are mapped to a five-level maturity model — from ad hoc processes (Level 1) to fully optimised, continuous improvement (Level 5).

The output is a detailed report that highlights your current maturity, identifies gaps, and sets out a prioritised remediation roadmap. This enables you to focus resources where they matter most, demonstrate alignment with good practice, and progress towards accreditation or certification.

• Independent review by NCSC-certified consultants
• Assessment against industry standards (ISO 27001, NIST CSF, NISD)
• Workshop-based fact-finding with your key stakeholders
• Clear maturity rating (Levels 1–5) with actionable recommendations
• Roadmap to guide targeted, cost-effective improvements

This service forms part of QinetiQ’s wider Cyber Security Advisory portfolio.

Secure outcomes, not just security solutions.
