Tutorial

Learn the CyberCaution™ platform step by step: Risk Review on the website, structured assessments in the Assessment Hub, sector context in CyberCaution Intelligence, and program execution in the Workspace. Client-hosted deployment is available when data must stay in your environment. The FAQ and How It Works describe the same Discover → Assess → Close journey.

Welcome To CyberCaution™: Step-by-Step Guide

Start With Risk Review

Start with RansomScore or Risk Review on the website for a fast readiness signal. When you need NIST-aligned depth, run your industry assessment in the Assessment Hub.

  • Completing an assessment provides a personalized security readiness score and actionable advice.
  • Most assessments take 5–15 minutes. You can pause and continue at any time.
  • Your answers are processed locally for privacy-first security; no forced cloud—client-hosted deployment is available.
Tip: Unsure where to start? Choose "Ransomware Readiness" for the most popular quick-win assessment.

Run Your Industry Assessment

Run your industry assessment in the Assessment Hub for NIST-aligned findings, framework mapping, and remediation priorities. Results can be imported into the Workspace.

  • Sector and framework catalogs (CISA Stop Ransomware, CMMC, Zero Trust, and more).
  • Most assessments take longer than Risk Review — you can pause and continue.
  • Questionnaires run in the Hub; Workspace tracks execution after import.

Add Threat Context in Intelligence

Open CyberCaution Intelligence for sector profiles, security advisories (CISA KEV, NVD), and a CVE watchlist. Use Save to Workspace to import a snapshot when you are ready to operationalize context.

  • Separate from Risk Review’s posture-derived radar — Intelligence uses public advisory feeds.
  • Feeds are cached in your browser; offline fallback when feeds are unavailable.
  • Not a managed SOC — supports human decisions in Workspace.

Track Progress in the Workspace

Import Risk Review, Assessment Hub, and Intelligence outputs into the Workspace. Follow the program journey (Setup → Baseline → Implementation → Report) to sequence remediation, store evidence, and generate executive-ready outputs.

  • Defense roadmap, asset and risk registers, and document evidence.
  • Results hub consolidates reporting across imported sources.
  • Optional cloud sync on paid tiers — local-first by default.

Track Progress & Get Help

Repeat assessments regularly or after policy/technology changes. Track your readiness trend over time.
