## 2. Verify Your Virtual CISO License

After logging in, check that the Virtual CISO license is active for your [Organization](https://app.aegister.com/organizations/). You need an active license to access the Virtual CISO services.\

## 3. Navigating the "Cyber Assurance" Section

Once your license is confirmed, go to the **Cyber Assurance** section. It offers two main services:

* **Cyber Posture**: shows the current status of your security policy implementation and compliance standards. View it [here](https://app.aegister.com/cyber-assurance/).\\

## 4. Structure of the Cyber Assurance Section

The **Cyber Assurance** section has two subsections:

### 4.1 Cyber Posture

* **Audience**: all users within an organization.
* **Functionality**: shows the implementation status of the security activities defined in the frameworks associated with your organization.

### 4.2 Association

* **Audience**: security officers and owners.
* **Functionality**:
  * Shows the security frameworks that Aegister has added to your organization.
  * Lets you add new security frameworks yourself (Aegister tailors them to your needs).\\

  * Starts the required remediation tasks.

## 5. Task Management

Tasks fall into two types:

* **Automated**: scheduled scripts defined in the security framework that run periodically, with a log of past executions.
* **Self**: tasks that require manual work.\\

### Task Evaluation and Documentation

* **Evaluate**: click "evaluate" within a framework to start answering the assessment questions.\\

* **Attachments and completion**: attach files as evidence, or click "completed" to mark a task as finished.
* **Versioning**: in the Cyber Posture section, view the version history of responses and attachments to track your progress.\\
