88% of Energy company boards agree: cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue – it’s a business risk (Gartner). As digitalization accelerates, so do the risks of security breaches that can disrupt operations, expose customer data, and lead to major financial loss.
Why your software quality matters
The quality of your software landscape directly affects how likely or unlikely it is to fall victim of a cyberattack or security breach. Legacy systems that haven’t been patched or updated may no longer be compliant with the latest security protocols or protected against the latest malware. In fact, 67% of third-party breaches in the energy sector are caused by software and IT vendors (KPMG).
Without clear visibility into your software risks, your business is left exposed.
How secure are your IT systems – really?
With our Cybersecurity risk assessment we scan your portfolio to give you a comprehensive, objective evaluation of your software system’s build quality and risk profile – enabling data-driven decisions on whether to maintain, modernize, or rebuild.
In just 2 weeks, we benchmark your system against the world’s largest software quality database (300M+ code lines) and apply an industry-proven SIG Security Model to identify and prioritize your most urgent risks
As a result, you receive a full report with a boardroom-ready executive summary and a deep dive into the technical details for your IT teams – complete with actionable improvement recommendations for business continuity.
What will you gain from a Cybersecurity Risk Assessment?
- Comprehensive software evaluation. Go beyond surface-level checks. Uncover issues in architecture, security, and productivity.
