When businesses want to understand their security risk, they rely on experts for a cyber risk assessment. This assessment discovers, quantifies, and prioritizes the information risk with a comprehensive process. It uses a process of documentation, observation, interviews, and technical testing, where the highly trained experts thoroughly investigate the risk potential.
Identify Vulnerabilities
First, highly trained cyber risk assessment experts use a process of interviews, documentation, observation, and technical testing to investigate more than 300 security controls across physical, administrative, internal, and external technical controls. After they complete the discovery process, they evaluate everything they learned and assign a risk rating to each control based on the likelihood of an adverse event and the potential impact to the organization. They create reports that are easy to understand, and they satisfy regulations, auditors, and cybersecurity insurance underwriters.
Prioritizing and Remediating Risks
The cyber risk assessment experts take all of the information they have to build a security roadmap that is designed to meet the precise needs of their clients. This will be a detailed plan of action for each risk, including what to do, who should be responsible for it and when it should be done. This helps allocate resources in a way that they are efficiently used to mitigate the most serious risks. When businesses meet with a security consulting firm, they can learn details about their actual risks, what to do, and how to protect themselves moving forward. These experts have the right skills and use proven processes, and companies benefit from their experience.
