Ready5 Verified Practitioners have completed a 10-week hands-on program as an intern or volunteer working directly under supervision of a cyber expert mentor. Practitioners have performed business risk and cyber capability assessments with real customers, helping to deliver a Digital Wellness Plan. A practitioner understands the risks that exist across an organization’s management, finances, IT support, operations, and awareness as well as the critical cyber capabilities that must be implemented across endpoints, identities, email, edge, and response. Practitioners complete an assessment following their 10-week program to verify their understanding of CRC’s process.

Ready5 Verified Organizations have participated in Cyber Ready Clinic’s Discover5 and Ready5 assessment process. These organizations work directly with a cyber expert to analyze their business risk and cyber capabilities. After receiving a Digital Wellness Report, these organizations work with their IT provider close any identified gaps and implement processes, plans, or solutions that show a commitment to preventing drive-by cyber-attacks such as ransomware and business email compromise. Organizations must complete a self-attestation to meeting Ready5 cybersecurity capabilities across the following areas: endpoint, identity, email, edge, and response.
