How does insider risk assessment work?

Our insider risk assessment works in 3 simple steps: 1) Answer 20 evidence-based questions across 5 security pillars (8-10 minutes), 2) Get your Insider Risk Index score (0-100) with maturity level, 3) Receive personalized recommendations based on your results. The assessment is free, requires no registration, and provides immediate results with endpoint-native behavioral monitoring insights.

Insider threat assessment evaluates your organization's vulnerability to internal security risks. Our free assessment measures 5 critical areas: visibility into user behavior, prevention through training, investigation capabilities, identity management, and phishing resilience. Complete 20 research-based questions to get your Insider Risk Index score and compare against industry benchmarks.

The assessment includes 20 questions across 5 pillars: Visibility & Monitoring (5 questions), Prevention & Coaching (5 questions), Investigation & Evidence (4 questions), Identity & SaaS Management (3 questions), and Phishing Resilience (3 questions). Questions cover tools, processes, policies, and capabilities based on industry best practices from Ponemon Institute 2025 research.

Your score is calculated using weighted methodology: Visibility & Monitoring (25%), Prevention & Coaching (25%), Investigation & Evidence (20%), Identity & SaaS Management (15%), and Phishing Resilience (15%). Scores range from 0-100 with maturity levels: Ad Hoc (0-24), Emerging (25-44), Managed (45-64), Proactive (65-84), and Optimized (85-100).

After completing the assessment, you receive: 1) Your Insider Risk Index score and maturity level, 2) Detailed breakdown across all 5 pillars, 3) Industry benchmarking showing how you compare to peers, 4) Personalized recommendations for improvement, 5) Optional PDF report for sharing with stakeholders.

Yes, our insider threat assessment aligns with multiple compliance frameworks including NIST Cybersecurity Framework, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS requirements. The 5-pillar methodology covers detection, prevention, response, and governance controls required by most regulatory standards. Results include compliance mapping and gap analysis for your specific industry.

Our assessment methodology is based on validated research from Ponemon Institute 2025, Gartner Market Guide analysis, and real-world incident data. The 5-pillar framework covers the same domains evaluated in professional security assessments: behavioral monitoring, prevention controls, incident response, access management, and social engineering resilience. Results provide enterprise-grade insights comparable to consultant evaluations.

Our insider threat assessment focuses specifically on human-centric security risks, which account for 68% of data breaches according to Verizon DBIR 2024. Unlike general security assessments, we evaluate behavioral monitoring capabilities, real-time intervention systems, and insider-specific detection techniques. The assessment includes endpoint-native monitoring insights and session-level behavioral analytics that traditional security tools miss.

The complete insider risk assessment takes 8-10 minutes to finish. This includes 1-2 minutes for organization details and 6-8 minutes for the 20 security questions. Results are provided immediately upon completion, with detailed scoring, benchmarking, and recommendations available instantly. No waiting period or manual review required.
