The Cybermindz Resilience Index™ (CRI)
Standardised psychometric testing that measures stress, sleep, burnout, and resilience across cybersecurity teams — translating data into clear, actionable insight for leaders.
Why Measure Resilience?
In cybersecurity, pressure is constant and often invisible. Teams operate in environments defined by uncertainty, high consequence decision-making, and sustained cognitive load.
Over time, this erodes focus, sleep quality, and emotional regulation — often without obvious external signs.
Traditional wellbeing approaches tend to act late. The CRI provides early, measurable indicators of risk, enabling organisations to respond before performance, retention, or safety are compromised.
High Cognitive Load
Sustained vigilance and abstract threat exposure place continuous demand on attention, judgement, and working memory.
Chronic Stress
Prolonged stress alters sleep patterns, cognitive flexibility, and emotional regulation — even when teams appear to be coping.
Delayed Visibility
Burnout and disengagement are often recognised only after performance, wellbeing, or retention have already been impacted.
Proactive Insight
Standardised data highlights emerging risk, enabling timely, targeted intervention.

What the CRI Measures
The Cybermindz Resilience Index™ integrates three internationally validated psychometric instruments to provide a complete view of individual and team wellbeing. Together, these measures provide insight no single tool can offer.
Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)
Measures how individuals experience stress in their daily lives, including feelings of overload, unpredictability, and lack of control across work and personal contexts.
It is considered a reliable and valid measure of perceived stress for both research and clinical applications.
Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-GS)
The gold standard for detecting burnout early, measuring emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy — dimensions strongly associated with resignation intent and performance decline.
Studies show that these metrics predict and correlate to resignation intent.
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
Assesses sleep quality across seven dimensions. Disrupted sleep undermines attention, reaction time, and the brain’s ability to recover from stress.
Poor sleep quality is progressively and linearly associated with burnout and its three dimensions.
How the CRI works
Following an initial consultation, the CRI is delivered via a streamlined process using secure survey links and coordinator-ready templates, with a follow-up call to review findings and next steps.
Confidential online assessment
Participants complete the CRI survey securely and anonymously.
Expert analysis
Results are analysed by organisational psychologists with expertise in cybersecurity and behavioural risk.
Team insights report
Leaders receive an aggregated report showing: Stress, burnout, and sleep indicators Resilience and recovery capacity Key risk and protective factors Comparisons to cyber industry norms or prior results (where applicable).
Follow-up discussion
A walkthrough of findings and guidance on appropriate next steps, including priority focus areas, potential interventions, and options for tracking change over time.
