How to use the Your Internal Security screen of your dashboard
The Your Internal Security section of your account contains questions that relate to elements of cyber security that are not covered by KYND's scanning.
KYND's scans are external and non-penetrative so do not reveal what goes on beyond the perimeter. They also cannot tell us about the habits and processes of your organisation. This will include topics such as the training of your users, the way your team updates your technology, and how prepared your organisation is for an attack, as well as many other topics that contribute to your security as much as your technology. The Your Internal Security questions provide that information to KYND so that you can receive more tailored responses and more in-depth guidance on these topics.
You can locate the Your Internal Security section by scrolling through your KYND ON Dashboard. For more information on navigating you account please see this article: Your KYND ON Dashboard
Answering questions
You can answer questions directly in your ON account or you can share a link with members of your team to get their input. This can be done by clicking on the Get shareable link button in the top right hand corner of the Your Internal Security screen.
How the questions impact your account
When you answer questions, your responses will be ranked in the same way as the other risks in your account: Red, Amber, or Green. Both answered and unanswered questions add to your Risk Report in your account, and can appear in any reporting you receive, providing you have opted into a level of reporting that includes internal security.
As with any risk in your Risk Report, you can click on the risk tile to get further information, and guidance on how to improve your risk posture in this area.
Unlike with risks taken from our scanning services, Internal Security risks can only be amended by providing a new response via the Your Internal Security questions. You cannot use the "We've fixed this" button or the Comment button to amend these risks
What happens if I don't answer these questions?
KYND's Internal Security questions try to add a layer of context and additional guidance to your account and help you move towards a more resilient posture. Unanswered questions add to the overall number of Red vulnerabilities in your account and in your reporting.
Note that responding to the questions is a pre-requisite of engaging with KYND's Advisory Service. For more information on this, please see here.
