Cyber Security Assessment Tool (CSAT)

A Smarter, AI-Powered Approach to Cyber Risk Assessment

Cyber threats are constantly evolving, making it difficult for businesses to stay ahead of vulnerabilities and compliance requirements. Manual security audits, incomplete reporting, and a lack of real-time visibility into risks leave organizations exposed.

Risk Cognizance offers an AI-powered Cyber Security Assessment Tool (CSAT) that simplifies security evaluations, identifies risks across IT environments, and provides actionable recommendations based on internationally recognized cybersecurity frameworks.

With integrated Attack Surface Management (ASM) and Dark Web Monitoring, CSAT scans and analyzes your entire infrastructure—including Microsoft 365, AWS, Azure, Google Workspace, and external attack surfaces—to proactively detect security weaknesses, leaked credentials, and potential cyber threats.

Why a Cyber Security Assessment Tool is Critical

A Cyber Security Assessment Tool (CSAT) helps organizations:

• Identify vulnerabilities across their entire IT ecosystem.
• Evaluate security controls to ensure protection against cyber threats.
• Monitor attack surfaces to detect exposed assets and misconfigurations.
• Detect compromised credentials on the dark web before they are exploited.
• Prioritize risks based on severity and business impact.
• Automate security assessments to reduce manual effort.
• Ensure compliance with industry regulations and best practices.

By leveraging Risk Cognizance’s AI-driven cybersecurity risk assessment tool, businesses can transition from a reactive security posture to a proactive, risk-aware strategy.
