Industry cybersecurity assessments

Free industry-specific cybersecurity readiness assessments.

Five free self-assessments, each built around the specific compliance frameworks and examiner expectations your industry faces. About ten minutes each. Scoring runs locally in your browser — nothing leaves your device unless you explicitly request a written report. Each output maps to the maturity scale your regulators or auditors actually use, so the result is immediately usable in board reporting, vendor diligence response, or pre-audit gap planning.

    CMMC Readiness Assessment

    Eighteen questions across the six NIST SP 800-171 control families that anchor CMMC 2.0 Level 2. Scoring maps to the SPRS construct DoD primes check during subcontractor diligence under DFARS 252.204-7012.

Community · Events

Practitioner events rooted in the Pacific cyber community.

Cyberuptive is rooted in the cybersecurity community. We help organize practitioner-led gatherings where defenders, researchers, students, and security leaders can learn from one another — not from a vendor pitch deck. If you’re building, defending, or studying in this space, we’d like to meet you at one of these.

  • Annual · Honolulu

    BSides Hawaii

    Our team helped found BSides Hawaii as part of the founding community — a practitioner-led space for defenders, researchers, students, and security leaders across the islands to share work and learn from each other. BSides events run worldwide; the Hawaii chapter exists to give the Pacific its own room at the table.

  • Coming soon · AI & cybersecurity

    CSides Hawaii

    CSides extends the community model into AI and cybersecurity. Hosted in Hawaii and named for the islands’ place surrounded by the sea, it’s a space for exploring the cyber sides of emerging AI risk, defense, governance, and hands-on practitioner learning. The site is live; the program and dates are being shaped now.
