See exactly which skills you need for your target role — and what to close first.
The short answer
What is the cybersecurity skills assessment?
The cybersecurity skills assessment is a free tool that compares what you can do today against what a specific role actually requires, and shows you the gap. You choose a target role, answer questions about your experience, and get back a report setting out the skills you already have, the ones you are missing, and which to close first.
It answers a different question from the career assessment. That one tells you which role suits you; this one tells you what stands between you and a role you have already chosen. Most people use them in that order.
Four steps
How it works
A few minutes in, a specific plan out.
Step 01
Pick a target role
The gap only means something against a destination.
Step 02
Answer the questions
About what you have actually done, not what you have read.
Step 03
Get your gap report
Strengths, gaps and priorities, side by side.
Step 04
Turn it into a plan
Close the gaps, then prove them.
What you will learn
-
-
Your existing strengths
What already counts, including from outside security.
-
What to close first
Priority order, so you are not learning everything at once.
The next step
From gap to plan to proof
A gap report on its own is just information. What makes it useful is the two things that follow it: closing the gap, and being able to show that you have.
-
Close the gaps
Your report points at the training that addresses the specific skills you are missing, rather than a general course catalogue.

Prove the skills
Verified skills land in your Skills Wallet, where employers and the matching engine can both see them.

Build the plan
The growth planner turns the report into goals and milestones you can track over months rather than days.
