What to Expect from Your Insider Risk Self Assessment Results

Taking the first step to understand your organisation’s insider risk is a smart move. But what happens after you complete the Insider Risk Self-Assessment? In this post, we’ll walk you through what your results mean, how to interpret your scores, and how you can use this feedback to build a stronger, more resilient organisation.

A Quick, Insightful Experience

The self-assessment is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly. In just a few minutes, you’ll answer targeted questions that reflect real-world scenarios and best practices in insider risk management. There’s no jargon or guesswork;  just clear, relevant questions that get to the heart of your organisation’s current approach.

Nine Key Domains: A Holistic View

Your results aren’t just a single number. Based on the Signpost Six Insider Risk Control Framework, the assessment evaluates your organisation across nine domains. The nine domains are:

• Privacy
• Case Management
• Risk Management
• Physical Security
• Insider Risk Awareness
• Third Party Management
• Employee Lifecycle Management
• Governance, Leadership & Culture
• IT Security

Each domain represents a critical area where insider risk can emerge. By breaking down your results, you’ll see exactly where your strengths lie and where there are opportunities for improvement.

Understanding Your Maturity Score

At the end of the assessment, you’ll receive a personalised maturity score on a scale from 0 to 5. This score reflects your overall insider risk posture, benchmarked against industry standards and best practices. Here’s what the levels mean:

• 0-2: Ad-Hoc – Processes are reactive and unstructured.
• 2: Basic – Some processes are defined, but not consistently followed.
• 3: Managed – Processes are documented and managed.
• 4: Advanced – Processes are measured and continuously improved.
• 5: Leading – Best practices are fully integrated and optimised.
