Empowering Cyber Proficiency Through Self-Assessment – GSK Cyberskills SaaS Platform
GSK Cyberskills at its core aims to facilitate self-assessment, team management, and comparative analysis through easy-to-use tools. A few of its notable features are:
- Role-Based Access Control : Allows for different user types (authenticated users, skills managers, sub-admins, administrators), each with role-based permissions and access to the dashboard.
- Individual & Team Profiles : It is possible for users to create in-depth individual profiles or form teams of individuals for group evaluation.
- Skill Scoring System : Enables users to score levels of proficiency across a wide collection of cybersecurity topics, encouraging self-awareness and education.
- Comparative Analytics : Enables users to compare their own profiles with others or team-to-team performance so that they are able to view strengths and weaknesses.
- Share & Export Options : Profiles and scores are available for sharing via links or printed reports for internal company use or professional presentation.
These competencies allow individuals and organizations to make decisions on upskilling and workforce development in the field of cybersecurity.
Technical Challenges & Solutions
One of the more complex challenges in constructing GSK Cyberskills was the mathematics involved with the calculations, comparisons, and visualization of individual and team scores in real time. Building effective mechanisms for multi-user role management, without sacrificing the integrity of score compilation and data comparison, required careful backend strategy and front-end ease-of-use.
Development around such technical challenges involved devising intelligent score averaging algorithms, permission-based views of data, and dynamically adapting interface elements. Because of ongoing communication among the development members and ongoing feedback loops, such challenges were successfully resolved and integrated seamlessly into the platform.
