The CCSF is not derived from industry frameworks or vendor certifications. It is derived from original research on why organizations fail after breaches — research that preceded product development and establishes Cybantage's position independent of any product launch.
No stage is optional if the full framework is engaged. The CCSF designation requires completion of all five stages. Individual stages may be engaged as standalone assessments.
The entry point for the entire CCSF. The Cyber Insurance Survivability Index scores your organization's claim defensibility across 34 questions in 10 domains — measuring both claimant-side security control gaps and insurer-side policy exclusion risk. The CISI is the only assessment in the market that measures both dimensions simultaneously. Every subsequent stage is calibrated against this baseline.
A dual-track assessment instrument administered under attorney-client privilege to both executive leadership (ELT) and IT/Security leadership simultaneously. The gap between the two tracks is a primary analysis data point. The Cybantage Analysis Engine applies seven-dimension analysis to produce the LDI Report — a forensic-grade leadership profile available in no other advisory product in the market. Names what leadership doesn't know they don't know.
The formal legal protection instrument of the CCSF. Where Stage 2A exposes governance gaps, Stage 2B documents the organization's response to those gaps — creating a legally protected record of due diligence, producing the board-level survivability briefing, and formally reviewing Domain 10 policy exclusions with qualified insurance counsel. The Privileged Review Record is the evidentiary document that protects executives and the organization in any post-breach proceeding.
LDI-informed forensic verification of all 10 CISI domains against production systems. Applies the same standard a carrier's forensic investigator will use — testing whether controls actually protect, not whether they are documented. Findings are cross-referenced against Stage 2B Domain 10 Policy Review findings, LDI-identified governance gaps, and the CISI baseline score. The output is the authoritative gap record that scopes Stage 4.
CyberRes builds the program and keeps it built. The initial engagement addresses all Forensic Deep Dive findings across governance design, identity hardening, backup integrity, IR operationalization, policy alignment, and regulatory compliance mapping. The sustained program runs quarterly CISI re-scores, monthly advisory, annual LDI re-evaluation, and full insurance renewal support — creating a program that performs under real-world conditions and sustains through every policy renewal cycle.
All Stage 2A and 2B activities are conducted under attorney-client privilege. Cybantage is retained as a technical expert by outside counsel — not directly by the client. This structure means findings are protected. They cannot be compelled in discovery. They exist to protect the organization, not expose it.
Request a Consultation →The compliance-to-survivability gap exists in every regulated industry. The CCSF applies the same forensic standard across all four verticals while mapping to each vertical's specific regulatory cascade.
31.3% of breached healthcare organizations ceased to exist independently. HIPAA attestation, HITRUST certification, and OCR compliance do not translate to forensic survivability. Nation-state exclusions, EHR clearinghouse dependencies, and systemic outage coverage gaps are primary Domain 10 risks.
FTC Safeguards Rule enforcement, DORA compliance requirements, and state-backed exclusions define the regulatory landscape. Third-party API and payment processor dependencies create supply chain coverage gaps standard policies frequently exclude.
Most attacks on cleared contractors are state-backed by definition. CMMC Level 2/3 certification does not address the nation-state exclusion paradox — the exclusion may void coverage for the most likely threat actor class in this sector.
OT ransomware surge, CrowdStrike-type systemic events, and IT/OT convergence create coverage gaps that ISO 27001 certification does not address. Business interruption policies frequently exclude non-malicious correlated outages — the scenario most likely to impact production environments.
Free assessment. Paid analysis debrief. Every completed assessment generates a full domain score profile, Domain 10 flag analysis, outcome band placement, and financial exposure estimate — the complete picture of where your organization stands.
