World Class Cyber Security Risk Assessment to Protect your Organization
Tech leaders are talking about cybersecurity in their boardroom meetings. However, 66% of those leaders are not fully confident their companies are properly secured against cyberattacks - How secure is your organization?
As your company grows and increases its technology needs, vulnerabilities and entry points will also become more critical to your business systems. To deal with these never-ending threats, you must design and implement advanced security testing policies before a crisis occurs. Waiting until an attack has started can mean the difference between a small issue and a true crisis.

What is a Security Risk Assessment & why is it important?
An Information Security Risk Assessment is the entire process that goes from Researching, Identifying, and Evaluation potential risks at organizations to Designing and Implementing data protection plans. We can say that the goal of a security assessment is to help protect both people and property that might be at risk to a variety of crimes.
Due to advancement in technology and the rapid growth of companies worldwide, organizations are more exposed to information security risks that might potentially have an adverse impact to their goals and objectives. Then a Cybersecurity risk assessment becomes an integral part of an organization’s enterprise risk management process.
Common Problems Observed in poor Security Risk Assessments:
- Poor articulation of risk scenarios - Usually executives get Risk Scenarios describing vague and generic events without articulating specific threats, vulnerabilities, assets, and consequences.
- Identification of risks using a compliance-oriented approach – A compliance-oriented approach towards risk assessment drives a “checklist” behavior, giving a false sense of security that an organization is not exposed to any risks if they fulfil all compliance requirements.
- Absence of risk tolerance - Cybersecurity risk tolerance at the enterprise level is often ignored, and management face difficulty in deciding the appropriate level of risk-taking to adopt whilst in pursuit of their organization’s business objectives.
- Treating risks with irrelevant controls/measures – Organizations may get a broad approach in producing measures to mitigate identified cybersecurity risks, resulting in the implementation of controls that don’t address the root cause.
