Understand your real cyber risks—and what to do about them—before they become incidents.
Cybersecurity risk is often misunderstood, mismeasured, or reduced to scanning tools and compliance checklists. Effective risk management requires a clear understanding of threats, vulnerabilities, and business impact, viewed together—not in isolation.
Natsar delivers independent risk, vulnerability, and threat assessments that help organizations understand where they are exposed, what matters most, and how to prioritize action. Our assessments are designed to support leadership decision-making, improve security maturity, and reduce the likelihood and impact of cyber incidents.
Not all assessments answer the same questions. Knowing the difference matters.
Risk Assessments
Risk assessments evaluate how threats, vulnerabilities, and exposures combine to impact the organization. They focus on business impact, likelihood, and prioritization—helping leadership understand what matters most and why.
Vulnerability Assessments
Vulnerability assessments and scanning identify technical weaknesses across systems, applications, and environments. These findings are valuable—but without context, they can overwhelm teams and fail to drive meaningful improvement.
Threat Assessments and Threat Modeling
Threat assessments examine who may target the organization, how attacks are likely to occur, and where defensive gaps exist. This is a different discipline than vulnerability scanning and is especially important for organizations facing elevated risk, regulatory scrutiny, or targeted threats.
Natsar helps organizations understand which assessment—or combination of assessments—they actually need, based on maturity, risk profile, and business goals.
This service is designed for organizations that need clarity—not noise.
Small and mid-sized business leaders who know an assessment is needed but aren’t sure where to start
Boards and executives seeking an independent view of cyber risk
IT and security leaders tasked with improving security without internal assessment expertise
Organizations preparing for regulatory, insurance, or customer scrutiny
Businesses that want risk insight they can actually act on
Natsar’s assessments focus on decision-useful outcomes, not theoretical models or checkbox compliance.
Our approach emphasizes:
Clear identification of material cyber risks
Practical prioritization over long lists of findings
Business-aligned recommendations leadership can understand
Assessments that drive action, not shelfware
Where appropriate, assessments are aligned to recognized frameworks such as NIST CSF, NIST 800-30/53/171, CIS Controls, and CMMC—providing structure without turning the exercise into a compliance audit.
Depending on scope and objectives, assessments may include:
Enterprise-level cybersecurity risk assessments
System, application, or environment-specific risk reviews
Vulnerability management maturity assessments
Threat modeling and targeted threat assessments
Framework-aligned assessments (NIST CSF, CIS, CMMC, and related standards)
Deliverables are designed for multiple audiences and include:
Executive risk summaries
Risk registers and prioritized risk statements
Visual risk heat maps
Board-ready briefings and decision memos
Practical remediation roadmaps aligned to business priorities
Natsar has conducted risk and cybersecurity assessments in complex, regulated, and high-risk environments—including national security and critical infrastructure organizations.
Our work has supported leadership teams operating where failure is not an option. That experience shapes how we assess risk, communicate findings, and provide recommendations that stand up to executive, regulatory, and external scrutiny.
Organizations of any size benefit from that same disciplined, defensible approach.
Whether you need an initial risk assessment, a deeper threat analysis, or help making sense of vulnerability data, Natsar can help you understand your risk and take informed action.
