Cyber Incident Baseline and Readiness
Baseline your estate by assessing the environment and surfacing the weaknesses that matter most in the eyes of an attacker
Regulations are coming in thick and fast
Understanding the impact of a cyber attack
Business pressures and cyber challenges are increasing, meaning that organisations need to take a more active approach to their cyber security posture. New regulations such as DORA and NIS2 are coming in thick and fast, and it is the organisation’s responsibility to ensure compliance. For many IT and Security Leaders, there is a lack of certainty when considering the outcome of material cyber-attacks because they don’t have the evidence.
There is a clear need to undertake a base-level assessment to replicate what an attacker would do and provide grounded data to prove the impact of an attack in the event of an actual breach. Acora’s Cyber Incident Baseline and Readiness Service follows a bespoke Attack Informs Approach that does just that, and focuses on continuous improvement and evidence that will show the vulnerabilities and what was exploited, making the prioritisation lens real.

Cyber Incident Baseline Components
Combined with Assessments Best Practice and Offensive Testing, our Cyber Incident Baseline and Readiness Service components work collectively to evidence the vulnerabilities your organisation is facing at the hands of an attacker.
Cyber Risk Assessment (CRA)
By collecting and interrogating endpoint data, we can baseline cyber posture and prove susceptibility to breach. We can also identify risks attached to configurations, processes, and behaviours to develop practical steps to improve hygiene.
Active Directory Assessment
78% of all breaches involve the misuse or abuse of Active Directory. By working with Silverfort, we address legacy active directory risk, clean your identity hygiene and reduce the likelihood of identity compromise.
Cloud Security Risk Assessment
Working with Wiz, we understand toxic combinations such as supply chain lateral movement, perimeter exploitation, phishing attacks and SaaS Provider delivery across cloud environments and mitigate cloud misconfiguration risks.
Red Team
Stepping into the shoes of an attacker, we demonstrate paths to material cyber impact by using the data from the assessments and prioritise accordingly. This Offensive Testing component of the service replicates an attacker lens, doing what the bad guys do.
Cyber Incident Baseline and Readiness Service FAQs
A Cyber Incident Baseline and Readiness Service assesses an organisation’s estate by evaluating their environment using situational awareness and surfacing the weaknesses that matter most in the eyes of an attacker.
By carrying out a variety of manual and automated techniques, we can identify vulnerabilities that, when combined correctly, will be exploited and will represent toxic combinations that attackers can leverage to:
- Achieve their goal of initiating a cyber-attack
- Evade detection and response
- Prevent victims from contacting the attack
- Negate the ability to perform successful recovery
DORA is a regulatory framework established by the European Union (EU) to strengthen digital resilience in financial institutions. It aims at making these entities able to withstand, respond to, and recover from various IT-related disruptions and risks. It forms part of wider efforts to enhance cyber security, including security testing and sound operation within Europe’s finance sectors.
As a trusted Cyber Security partner, we have learnt a lot over the years, providing us with the unique insights into where best to allocate, finite resources to maximise business impact reduction. Offering an Attack Informs Defence Approach, we are able to focus on impact-led, data-driven and compliant outcomes that directly tackle high risks for organisations.
A list of clear priorities, risks, and actions is fundamental to building a business case and establishing a baseline to enhance cyber security. The goal is to understand the impact of a cyber attack on an organisation and create a platform to increase risk profile.
