Introducing Fluxroute: A Fresh Take on Cybersecurity Roadmapping

Cybersecurity planning can feel overwhelming. There are standards to comply with, frameworks to follow, audits to pass, and an ever-growing list of threats to worry about. We get it. That's exactly why we built Fluxroute.

The Roadmap Metaphor

Think about planning a journey. A good roadmap does three essential things:

• Shows you where you currently are

• Helps you decide where you want to go

• Guides you on the best route to get there, which turns to take, which milestones you'll pass

  
  

This is precisely how we approach cybersecurity roadmaps at Fluxroute. We help you understand your current security posture, decide what improvements matter most, and then plan the exact steps to get there.

The Problem With Traditional Approaches

There's no shortage of ways to assess your cybersecurity position. You might use compliance standards like ISO 27001 or NIST 800-53, maturity frameworks like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, or practical tests like penetration testing and red team exercises. All of these have their place.

But here's the catch: they don't connect easily to the specific threats you're facing.

Imagine you're worried about ransomware. You want to know: "How ready are we to protect against, detect, and respond to a ransomware attack?" Try answering that question using traditional methods, and you'll quickly hit a wall:

• A red team exercise might help, but only if it specifically focused on ransomware, and even then, it's limited to the scope of that particular test

• Compliance frameworks give you a tick-box list of general controls, but they can't tell you how well you'd handle ransomware specifically

• Maturity models assess your overall sophistication, but they're not designed to map to individual threats

  
  

The result? You're left with incomplete answers, or worse, no clear answers at all. You can't easily trace your security investments back to concrete protection against the threats that keep you up at night.

Our Solution: Threat-Focused Roadmaps

This is the problem Fluxroute solves.

We believe the most valuable roadmaps are the ones that connect your initiatives directly to tangible improvements against specific threats. Yes, those initiatives might also boost your maturity scores or help you tick compliance boxes—but those are bonuses. The real value lies in genuinely improving your readiness to handle the threats that matter to your organisation.

How Fluxroute Works

We've built a model that connects threats to the cybersecurity capabilities that defend against them. Here's what that means in practice:

• Threat-to-capability mapping: Our model links specific threats (like ransomware) to the capabilities that help protect, detect, and respond to them

• Maturity definitions: Each capability has clear maturity levels, so you know what "good" looks like

• Targeted assessment: When you want to assess your ransomware readiness, we identify the relevant capabilities and help you evaluate where you stand on each one

• Prioritised roadmaps: Based on your assessment and the relative importance of each capability, we generate actionable roadmaps that tell you exactly what to improve and in what order

  
  

The result? You get roadmaps that make sense. Roadmaps that your board can understand. Roadmaps that your team can actually execute. And most importantly, roadmaps that genuinely make you more secure against the threats you're facing.

What's Next?

This is just the beginning of our journey with Fluxroute, and we're excited to share more with you in future posts. We'll dive deeper into our model, walk through real examples, and show you how organisations are using threat-focused roadmaps to make smarter security decisions.

Welcome aboard. Let's build better roadmaps together.
