Details

Many organizations face difficulty in identifying and prioritizing their cybersecurity risks. Learners will conduct a risk assessment, document vulnerabilities, and deliver actionable remediation recommendations in a professional format.


  • Evaluate the cybersecurity posture of a small-to-medium business (SMB) or simulated environment. Identify vulnerabilities, assess risks, and develop a prioritized mitigation plan aligned to industry standards (e.g., NIST, ISO).


Deliverables

Tasks and Activities:

  • Review the organization’s IT environment or case study
  • Conduct asset identification and classification
  • Identify potential threats, vulnerabilities, and business impacts
  • Use a basic risk matrix to assess severity and likelihood
  • Align findings with NIST or ISO compliance frameworks
  • Recommend controls and remediation actions
  • Draft a formal Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Report
  • Create a visual summary or infographic for stakeholder communication


Deliverables:

  • Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Report
  • Risk Matrix and Prioritization Table
  • Remediation Plan with Recommended Controls
  • Executive Summary Slide Deck or Infographic
  • Long form Deck or video recording all aspects of how Software developers can mitigate cybersecurity risks within the code, even if it's a high level overview

Private-Markets.io is a role-based platform that connects brokers, issuers, sponsors, and investors around curated private-market opportunities. Users host and promote events (webinars, in-person, hybrid), publish highlights (news/updates), and manage a deal room—all behind permissioned workflows and admin approval. The platform supports premium sponsorships with the ability to host webinars and virtual networking events and post rich media, with pricing by plan.

The app includes authenticated login / sign-up flows and gated dashboards by role, enabling targeted distribution and semi-anonymous discovery until an investor signals interest (“More Info,” RSVP, etc.).

Why it exists:

Private-market engagement is fragmented across email threads, webinar tools, spreadsheets, and ad-hoc CRMs—making it hard to (a) match the right investors to the right opportunities, (b) run compliant approvals, and (c) prove engagement to brokers and sponsors. We solve this with:

-Smart matching from a structured investor questionnaire (sector focus, allocator type, industry, granular preferences).

-End-to-end workflows: event creation → approval → shareable templates → RSVP logging → attendance signals → analytics.

-Deal confidentiality by default with controlled “de-anonymization” once interest is expressed.

-Operational analytics that show brokers the investor funnel per issuer (views → clicks → RSVPs → meetings), plus sector/allocator breakdowns.
