How can ACAS assist in establishing a security baseline for an organization?

ACAS can significantly assist in establishing a security baseline for an organization by assessing current configurations against best practices and standards. This process involves evaluating the existing security posture and comparing it to recognized frameworks and guidelines, such as those provided by NIST or CIS. By identifying gaps, vulnerabilities, or areas of non-compliance, ACAS helps organizations understand their security status and what adjustments are necessary to meet established security baselines.

This baseline serves as a reference point for measuring security posture over time, ensuring that the organization aligns its security practices with compliance requirements and industry standards. This helps organizations not only in strengthening their security frameworks but also in facilitating informed decision-making regarding risk management and resource allocation in their security practices.
