Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Services: How Does Your Security Measure Up?
Cyber attacks are accelerating at an uncomfortable rate. Get cybersecurity risk assessments by industry experts, and rest assured your organization is robustly secure.
What Is a Cybersecurity Risk Assessment?
A cybersecurity risk assessment is a structured process for identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing the issues facing your organization’s technology environment. Instead of guessing where your defenses might be weak, a proper risk assessment gives you a clear, evidence-based picture of your actual security risk so you can make informed decisions about where to invest.
At its core, a risk assessment answers three questions: what could go wrong, how likely is it, and how much would it cost your organization if it happened. That combination of probability and impact is what separates a real assessment from a generic security checklist.
Most organizations don’t need a single one-size-fits-all approach. A strong cybersecurity risk assessment should reflect your industry, your compliance obligations, and the specific systems your team relies on every day. That’s why we offer more than one type of assessment, depending on how deep you need to go.
Our Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Offerings
Our experts are dedicated to providing as many organizations as possible with the knowledge they need to make security-enhancing decisions for their teams. To address this dedication, we offer two types of assessments:
NIST-Based Cybersecurity Risk Assessment
This is a comprehensive assessment that dives deeply into your security processes and procedures.
It is based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework: a set of best practices and recommendations that seek to address the lack of standards regarding cybersecurity.
Our cybersecurity experts will establish:
- A current profile (where you are today).
- A target profile (where you want to be).
- A cybersecurity roadmap (how to get you from A to B).
Personalized Risk Score and Risk Management Framework (ERM)
This is a targeted assessment focused on your organization’s specific cybersecurity risks. A crucial part of this assessment is analyzing your preparedness for likely risks.
Our experts will help you:
- Review the probability of an attack, how strong your controls are to prevent it, and the impact (in dollars) to your organization if it’s successful.
- Measure these three items objectively and combine them into a personalized Risk Score.
- Provide suggestions for additional controls your organization would benefit from to lower your overall risk are included in your Risk Score.
After this assessment, you will be better protected against unexpected cybersecurity outcomes due to inadvertently under-addressed risks.
Why Organizations Can't Skip a Risk Assessment
Cyber attacks aren’t slowing down, and most companies don’t find out how exposed they are until something already went wrong. A risk assessment flips that around: instead of reacting to an incident, you get ahead of it.
Beyond the obvious information security benefits, a lot of the pressure to run regular risk assessments now comes from outside your organization. Cyber insurance carriers increasingly require documented risk management programs before they’ll issue or renew a policy. Clients and partners doing due diligence often ask for evidence of a recent security assessment before they’ll sign a contract. Regulators in certain industries require it outright.
