Crossword Cybersecurity PLC (AIM:CCS) said its online software assurance platform, Rizikon Assurance, is to be made “freely available” to UK technology trade association (techUK) members.
The tech commercialisation company will offer Rizikon to techUK members so they can self-assess their cyber security alignment with the UK government's Cyber Essentials scheme.
Rizikon helps customers self-assess their cyber security by issuing a high-level overview and ‘scorecard’, highlighting areas of weakness, the cyber security and risk management specialists said.
“Those that are looking to undertake assessments of their suppliers can also get access to a free version of the platform to assist in driving some automation into that process," Sean Arrowsmith, group sales director, said.
Additionally, Crossword will offer a limited “free” use of the Rizikon Assurance platform to techUK members interested in utilising the platform to assess their supply chain risks in a range of areas.
Rizikon Assurance is a secure, encrypted portal that helps organisations manage risks in supply chains and the financial, regulatory, and reputational risks they indirectly carry, the company said.
Customers can upgrade and create their own questions and scoring approaches.
