Readiness Assessment

Our cyber risk assessment services assess, mitigate, and monitor risks at your organization. Information security risk management and risk assessment is a significant subset of the enterprise risk management process, which includes both the assessment of information security, physical risks to the organization as well as the determination of appropriate risk management actions and established priorities for managing and implementing security controls to protect against those risks.

What ARE risk management and risk assessment?

The risk management and IT security risk assessment process involve setting priorities and making critical risk appetite decisions regarding what is sometimes called the institution's "appetite for risk.” The primary direction in making decisions about risk acceptance needs to come from institutional leadership. Information security organizations may manage the risk management program, but it's necessary to consult with institutional leadership about handling risks that cannot effectively be reduced or mitigated. The Risk Management Framework provides valuable guidance to assist with developing these processes.
