Experience the difference Minerva can make for your organization
Stop relying on outdated, point-in-time assessments models that leave you vulnerable. With real-time control visibility, you gain instant, continuous insights into your cyber risks.
Why Free Vendor Assessments Fall Short:
- Limited Scope: Offer only a snapshot of a specific area at a single point in time.
- Marketing-Driven: Often designed as a sales tactic rather than to deliver genuine, actionable insights.
- Vendor Bias: Typically skewed to align with the vendor’s own commercial solutions, lacking objectivity.
- More Sales: Frequently serve as a stepping stone to upsell paid services or products.
- Lack of Context: Fail to provide a comprehensive understanding of your organization’s risk landscape.
The Limitations of Traditional Consulting Assessments:
- High Costs: Expensive due to labor-intensive processes and utilization models.
- Not scalable: Unable to scale due to the labor based delivery model.
- Point-in-Time Focus: Deliver only a temporary snapshot, lacking ongoing visibility.
- Proprietary Scales: these models lock clients into utilizing the same vendor for future engagements if they want to measure progress over time.
- Operational Disruption: Often disrupt daily operations due to their event-driven nature.
- Self-Assessment: In the end, they are all self assessments. These just have a required interview.
- Vendor Bias: Tend to align with the consultant’s own solutions, limiting objectivity.
- Sales-Oriented: Frequently positioned to lead to further paid engagements or products.
- Lack of Comprehensive Risk Insight: Fail to provide a holistic view of your organization’s risk profile.
The Challenges with Traditional GRC Tools:
- High Costs: Enterprise-level pricing creates a significant barrier for smaller organizations to adopt these tools.
- Compliance-Centric: Focus primarily on compliance (“Big C”) rather than governance and risk management (“little g, little r”), potentially fostering a false sense of security and exposure.
- Skill-Dependent: Effective use requires a high level of expertise, making it less accessible to those without specialized knowledge.
- Technical Focus: Designed for technical users, necessitating extra effort to translate findings into actionable insights for leadership.
- Complex Integration: Integration with existing systems can be complex and time-consuming, often requiring additional resources and expertise.
- Limited Scope: Overemphasize integration and technical controls, often overlooking the critical human element that drives most organizational risks.
It's not only how we get the data, but it is how we use it to reduce your risk. We are bridging the gap between technical and non-technical leaders with risk insights to create a more secure digital environment.
For Technical Leaders:
Rethink Your Approach
Would you check your email just once a year? Of course not. The same logic applies to managing your cyber program.
While the technical elements of monitoring continue to evolve, the governance of the cyber program has been limited to annual assessments. Traditional, labor-intensive approaches have set low expectations due to their high costs and limited accessibility.
Minerva leverages cutting-edge technology to break down these barriers, offering continuous access to your organization’s control posture. Isn’t it time you had the power to measure and manage your security program in real-time? Discover the Minerva difference today.

Aligning Your Cyber and Leadership
Many non-technical leaders may not be well-versed in cybersecurity, often leaving IT leaders to translate complex concepts or, worse, attempt to teach them to their peers. This challenge is compounded by the fact that many cybersecurity leaders come from technical backgrounds and may lack the business acumen needed to communicate effectively with non-technical colleagues.
The Minerva platform addresses this gap by aligning our data with skills known to be common to organizational leaders. The use of common management methods bridges these worlds. Our proprietary use of benchmarking data fosters transparency and understanding, allowing leaders to engage with cybersecurity in ways familiar to them. This approach demystifies the cyber landscape, encourages participation and enhances organizational confidence and resilience.
