Cybersecurity
Risk Assessment
Risk is part of doing business, and managing it well is what keeps organizations in business. However, are you aware of where, how, and what to do about it? Risk can manifest in a variety of ways and can cause a system to experience varying degrees of disruption and harm. As organizations grow in size and complexity, risks increase proportionately. As a result of these factors, it has never been more critical for organizations to conduct and maintain some form of security risk assessment that takes into account both current and potential security threats to their operations.

Our Process
A risk assessment for cybersecurity is a methodical process. It is similar to a traditional risk assessment but focuses more on the information security aspect of your assets. When we conduct a cybersecurity risk assessment, we consider factors such as insider threats, hackers, power outages, fires, floods, malware, vulnerabilities, poor coding practices, and unintentional actions. Organizations desire a cybersecurity assessment because it assists them in identifying threats and vulnerabilities to their assets. It helps in determining its impact, understanding their risks, and making data-driven risk treatment decisions. The following is our cybersecurity risk assessment process.
Planning and Scoping
First, we spend time to understand your business, its objective and goals. Then we scope the assessment.
Vulnerability Assessment
Once threats have been identified, we determine vulnerabilities from those threats.
Identify Assets
Here we identify your assets, and we determine its value to your organization.
Impact Assessment
Once we've determined the likelihood of exploitation of the vulnerabilities, we determine the impact to your organization should exploitation succeed.
Threat Assessment
Once assets have been identified, and we've determined its value. We identify threats to these assets.
Risk Treatment
Once we've calculated the risks, we provide a report. You use this report to update your risk register to make data-driven decisions on treatment to bring your risks to an acceptable level.
