How are organizations performing across cybersecurity controls in the Minimum Viable Secure Product framework? A recent analysis by Bitsight and Google reveals some good and some bad results - and room for improvement.

The study analyzed the cybersecurity performance of nearly 100,000 organizations around the world across nine industries.

The study found that while every industry in 2023 has a high Pass rate for 10 of the 16 MVSP controls studied, many organizations are still failing on controls critical to protecting themselves against cyber incidents.

Organizations across all industries are struggling with controls critical to the health of an organization's vulnerability management program, Bitsight found.

By understanding the pass and fail rates of MVSP controls organizations will be better armed with the knowledge to benchmark their security performance and improve their cybersecurity strategies to mitigate and reduce vulnerability.

"If organizations want to build and maintain a mature security posture in today's turbulent and fast moving environment, they need leaders that prioritize security management and a culture of constant improvement. Using frameworks like the MVSP, organizations can take the initial necessary steps to develop a strong security culture within their organizations."
