What applies, what is missing and what should happen first?

A focused starting engagement for leadership, legal, compliance and security teams that need a shared view of scope and priorities.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Know the boundaries before you engage.

Does CyberMela certify that an organization is compliant?

No. CyberMela can assess readiness, organize evidence and recommend actions, but it does not issue a legal determination, INSA designation, audit opinion or certification.

Is this only for organizations already designated as critical infrastructure?

No. A readiness engagement can help a listed-sector organization understand the published indicators and prepare sensible governance and security work while formal scope is confirmed through the appropriate official or legal channel.

Does a cybersecurity assessment include penetration testing?

Not automatically. The standard readiness assessment focuses on governance, processes, evidence and selected controls. Any technical testing would require a separate written scope and confirmation that the service can be provided lawfully.

Will CyberMela submit an incident report to Ethio-CERT or INSA?

No. CyberMela can help an organization prepare its internal reporting process, but sensitive incident information and the final report must go directly through the official channel.
