GuidePoint Security Launches Incident Response Maturity Assessment to Help Organizations Reduce Cyber Risk
June 10, 2025 – Published on MSSP Alert
Most incident response plans hold up until they’re tested by a real breach. That’s when overlooked gaps surface, and the consequences become real.
GuidePoint Security’s new Incident Response Maturity Assessment (IRMA) is designed to surface those gaps before they cause damage. Built specifically for incident readiness, IRMA uses a risk-aligned, lifecycle-based framework to assess how well organizations can prepare for, detect, contain, and recover from cyber threats. Unlike traditional assessments, it focuses exclusively on response capabilities, drawing on industry standards such as NIST and SANS to ground its methodology.
The process begins with a hands-on evaluation of current policies, tools, and workflows. GuidePoint’s experts work directly with key stakeholders to understand how incident response functions in day-to-day operations, not just how it’s documented. This practical lens helps pinpoint real-world issues that may not show up in static audits.
IRMA then benchmarks the organization’s response maturity across each phase of the incident lifecycle, from preparation to post-incident activity, assigning scores that highlight both strengths and gaps. Based on these findings, it delivers a focused improvement roadmap tailored to the organization’s risk profile and operational needs.
