Security Posture Management Services
A fragmented cybersecurity environment puts your institution at risk. Disconnected systems, inconsistent controls, and lack of centralized oversight make it nearly impossible to know where you're vulnerable. And with evolving threats and increasing regulatory scrutiny—from FERPA to NIST 800-171 and CMMC—operating in reactive mode is no longer an option.
At NewPush, we empower IT leaders in Higher Education to transition from reactive firefighting to proactive governance. Our security posture management (SPM) approach leverages the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) at NewPush Platform to normalize and assess signals across your entire environment—giving you the context, benchmarks, and recommendations needed to take back control.

Frequently Asked Questions About Security Posture Management
What is security posture management, and why is it important?
How is this different from vulnerability management?
While vulnerability management focuses specifically on discovering and remediating system flaws, posture management offers a broader view—covering policy enforcement, configuration drift, compliance alignment, and overall cyber maturity.
How does NewPush assess my institution’s security posture?
We use a combination of automated scanning, OCSF-normalized telemetry, and expert evaluation to produce risk scores, compliance heatmaps, and strategic recommendations that are customized to your institution's systems and goals.
Can this help with compliance frameworks like NIST 800-171 or CMMC?
Absolutely. These frameworks require you to demonstrate that you understand your risks and have a plan to reduce them. Our security posture reports are aligned to key controls within each standard, giving you clear evidence for auditors and leadership.
What kinds of environments do you support?
Our platform supports hybrid environments, including on-premises infrastructure, cloud services (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), endpoints, and SaaS platforms like LMS, SIS, and Google Workspace.
How often are posture assessments conducted?
We offer continuous posture monitoring, with scheduled updates weekly, monthly, or quarterly based on your needs. This ensures you always know where you stand, even as systems evolve or threats emerge.
Will you work with our internal IT team?
Yes. We operate as an extension of your IT and cybersecurity team, offering collaborative planning and shared dashboards that empower internal staff—not replace them.
