Bastion

The CISO Assessment Architecture

A proprietary eight-dimension evaluation model built from 60+ CISO and security leadership placements — measuring the competencies that distinguish a security engineer from a strategic security leader who protects enterprise value while enabling digital ambition.

Eight Dimensions

The CISO Security Posture Framework

TI

Threat Intelligence

Builds proactive threat detection capabilities — intelligence feeds, hunting programmes, and the analytical frameworks that keep the enterprise ahead of adversaries.

SA

Security Architecture

Designs defence-in-depth architectures — zero trust, identity management, network segmentation, and the layered controls that make breaches survivable.

GC

Governance & Compliance

Navigates ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, DPDPA, and sector-specific regulations. Builds compliance programmes that satisfy auditors without paralysing operations.

IR

Incident Response

Builds and tests incident response capabilities — playbooks, tabletop exercises, and crisis communication protocols that minimise damage when breaches occur.

CS

Cloud Security

Secures multi-cloud environments — CSPM, CWPP, container security, and the shared responsibility models that keep cloud-native applications protected.

SC

Security Culture

Transforms security from a department into a discipline. Builds awareness programmes, phishing resilience, and the behavioural changes that reduce human-factor risk.

BC

Board Communication

Translates cyber risk into business language. Presents to boards with clarity — risk quantification, investment rationale, and the metrics that build confidence in security posture.

AD

AppSec & DevSecOps

Shifts security left — embedding security into development pipelines, code review, and CI/CD processes without becoming a bottleneck to engineering velocity.
