Find the right tools.
Index8 Pathway helps you understand which software categories may support open readiness gaps.

From a security readiness gap to a clear next step.
When Index8 finds a gap, Pathway turns it into a software category, common options to compare, and the supporting documentation to collect after setup.

Ten categories that map to the security readiness work.
Each category covers what it does and common options to consider. These are categories to compare, not endorsed or ranked picks.
Password managers
One safe place for team logins, so passwords are not reused or kept in notes.
Identity and access
A central place where teammate accounts live and access is granted or removed.
MFA
A second factor at sign-in, so a password alone is not enough.
Device management
A current list of work laptops and phones, with protection status recorded.
Backup and recovery
Scheduled copies of the data that matters, with a restore you can test.
Endpoint protection
Software that watches laptops and servers and reports which devices are protected.
Security training
Short lessons on common risks, with a record of who finished.
Email security
Filtering for phishing, plus settings that reduce spoofing of your domain.
AI governance
A short policy on approved tools and off-limits data, plus admin controls.
Vendor and access documentation
One place to keep supporting documentation organized by control and category.
Pathway shows software categories to compare and tools to consider. It does not rank or score tools, does not test or certify them, does not endorse any product, and does not take payment or referral fees from any vendor. The choice is always yours.
Index8 Pathway turns the gaps Index8 Security finds into tools, and the tools you put in place into Index8 Trust.
Same workspace, same score, same evidence. Close a gap with the right tool, then show the work to clients, brokers, and partners.
