With nearly 30 years of experience in higher education cybersecurity leadership, Chris Schreiber, the creator of CYBER HEAT MAP, ensures that our services are informed by real-world expertise and best practices. Our tools are constantly updated based on feedback from numerous assessments and a vast directory of vendor solutions used by member institutions.
We believe in a pragmatic approach to cybersecurity improvements. We understand that every institution has unique needs and constraints. Our recommendation reports help you make informed decisions about where to invest your limited resources in new tools and services.
Yes, we can license CYBER HEAT MAP to your existing consultants to use as part of your engagement. Since we license the tool through consulting partners, it would be best to have a conversation with your consultant if you would like them to use CYBER HEAT MAP as part of your engagement.
When an institution creates an account on CYBER HEAT MAP, the account manager has full control over their assessment details. The institution owns their assessment details, while CYBER HEAT MAP owns the benchmarking data derived from the assessments. As part of our service, we aggregate anonymized assessment information to create benchmarking data that benefits the entire member community.
When we aggregate the benchmarking data, we identify the contributing institution based on a combination of three values: public vs. private institution, 2-year or 4-year institution, and the number of students using the five size buckets assigned in the US Department of Education IPEDS database.
Absolutely not! Your assessment details belong to your institution and are only shared with those you invite to collaborate with you.
When individual users complete a Skills Assessment as part of the CYBER HEAT MAP assessment, the skills inventory data is associated with that individual user. Each user has full control to add or remove their assessment answers.
If a user is deleted from the system, we permanently delete all their associated skills inventory answers. We do not incorporate individual skills inventory answers in the benchmarking dataset.
