Partnership Value Review

CyBridge Advisors: Digital abstraction of a network of interconnected entities--symbolizing people in partnership.

What it is

CyBridge Advisors evaluates the value of your membership in an existing information sharing organization or the value of joining or catalyzing one. We focus on practical results, not setup theory. The review is built on eleven essentials (derived from the “Gnarly 9” challenges highlighted in Building a National Cyber Information-Sharing Ecosystem) and can be extended with twelve deeper-dive optional checks.

What you get

  • A one-page scorecard with strengths, gaps, and a simple overall score

  • Three to five focused fixes you can start this month

  • A short readout for leaders—plain language, clear choices

  • A reusable workbook for future reviews

Return on investment and decision rule

We calculate an annual view of costs and benefits—dues, staff time, tools, travel, and other items—against real outcomes like time saved, reduced outside spend, and acted‑upon items. You get a plain‑language call: continue, adjust, or exit. The decision is tied to measured value and your overall score.

What we check (the eleven essentials)

  • Partnership purpose and fit

  • Shared governance and roles

  • Legal and policy foundations

  • Sharing labels and trust rules

  • Privacy and personal data protection

  • Security of systems and data

  • Common data language and structure

  • Reliable exchange methods

  • Information quality and relevance

  • Timeliness and cadence

  • Outcomes, value, and learning (includes return on investment)

How it works

  1. Short intake: a brief call and a simple worksheet

  2. Evidence review: light document and system walkthroughs with both sides

  3. Readout: a clear scorecard, return‑on‑investment view, and a focused action plan

When you want more depth

Add the twelve optional checks—onboarding, triage, notices, playbooks, service levels, training, outreach, tool integration, funding, continuity, and more—to extend the review without slowing you down.
