Ensure your organisation’s web security posture meets the rigorous demands of SOC for Cybersecurity reporting with this comprehensive self-assessment programme. Designed for cybersecurity professionals and compliance leads, this structured curriculum delivers the same depth as a multi-session technical advisory engagement—empowering your team to confidently align web security practices with AICPA Trust Services Criteria (TSC) across complex, cloud-distributed environments.
You’ll gain actionable insights across critical domains, starting with clear scoping and control alignment:
- Define precise scope boundaries for all web assets, including third-party-hosted applications and APIs, ensuring accurate system descriptions in your SOC report.
- Map existing controls to NIST CSF, ISO 27001, or CIS Controls, and align them with TSC requirements for availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, and privacy.
- Identify control gaps in authentication, encryption, and session management, then document robust control objectives that support management assertions.
- Establish risk thresholds for public-facing applications, enabling defensible, audit-ready decision-making.
Module two focuses on proactive asset governance:
- Automate discovery of all internet-facing domains, subdomains, and cloud endpoints to eliminate blind spots.
- Classify assets by criticality and data sensitivity to prioritise protection efforts and compliance resources.
- Integrate CMDBs with vulnerability tools and enforce cloud tagging standards (AWS, Azure, GCP) for continuous visibility—even across ephemeral workloads.
- Detect shadow IT through DNS monitoring and maintain configuration integrity across development, staging, and production environments.
By completing this self-assessment, your organisation will build a defensible, transparent, and audit-ready web security framework that supports SOC compliance and strengthens stakeholder trust.
Take control of your cybersecurity posture—start your self-assessment today and align your web security strategy with global best practice.
