Industry Defaults Assessment
The required first step for every OCRR journey.
A no-cost, five-page Executive Summary within 2 days. Establish an industry-based starting point with an overall rating, multi-discipline breakdowns and ratings and financial context.
Uses defaults for your industry and size of organisation. It does not assess your actual environment.

Next · Refine your baseline
Guided Assessment
Requires a completed Industry Defaults Assessment.
Build on that starting point, adjusting your organisation-specific information in eight distinct domains (~500 accessible fields). Refine the rating, compare multi-discipline breakdowns and identify improvement priorities.
Less than 2 hours of your time. Delivery within 7–14 days, subject to agreed scope and information availability. Commercial terms agreed separately.
Discuss progressing to Guided → -
Then · Appraise improvements
Elevated TTP Options Assessment
Builds on Industry Defaults and Guided findings.
Compare proposed policy, process and technology changes against your assessed position. Use the findings to inform improvement and investment decisions.
Our consultants work with members of one or more of your different operational, data, storage, security and financial teams to assess your elevated resilience goals.
Discuss progressing to Elevated →
Industry Defaults comes first. Complete the initial assessment before progressing to Guided or Elevated.

Useful questions.
Clear assessment boundaries.
OCRR assesses existing resilience capabilities using agreed assumptions and, where relevant, disruption scenarios. These scenarios are not predictions of a particular attack.
Explore the assessment approach →Is OCRR a cyber risk assessment?
No. OCRR is focused on cyber resilience to minimise the impact on your business when an attack is successful. A cybersecurity risk assessment is a systematic process used to identify, evaluate, and prioritise digital and operational risks connecting technical vulnerabilities to potential business impacts so companies can apply appropriate security controls.
Is the initial summary about my actual environment?
No. It uses over 500 validated defaults aligned to your industry and size of organisation.
Does the assessment validate technical controls?
Yes. In the Guided assessment we apply your organisation’s actuals to assess their impact against your operational cyber resilience objectives.
How much involvement is needed?
Industry Default Assessment – None
Guided Assessment – Approximately 2 hours
Elevated TTP Assessment – Based on the depth of options you want assessed
Can OCRR help review incident response?
Yes. Our assessments provide efficiency and effectiveness capabilities to adjust your existing IR processes
