In today’s dynamic, global economy information is the lifeblood of any business. Regulatory noncompliance can cause trouble, while security gaps can leave organizations exposed to data breaches. Such incidents can hurt both their reputation and market share.
Our Risk Assessment Service provides our clients the knowledge they need to reduce these risks at all levels of their business.
The central issue with risk is the probability of uncertainty. What you really want to know is what to do about it: whether to take countermeasures or install risk mitigation.
Personal information is subject to privacy laws. Other types of business information, and anything related to national security, are subject to much more stringent regulations and laws.
To assess your risk, you should ask the following questions, should there be a breech or threat to your business:
– Threat Categorization: What could happen to your information assets?
– Threat Impact: How severe would that be?
– Threat Frequency: How often could that happen?
– Uncertainty Factor: How certain are you in answering these questions?
These questions are less relevant for Software as a Service (SaaS) than they are for Platform as a Service (PaaS), but are more relevant for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

The central issue with risk is uncertainty. Keeping in mind the three factors of security (confidentiality, integrity and availability), you can ask questions regarding information assets along the lines of what the consequence would be as a result of the following:
– The information asset was exposed
– The information asset was modified by an external entity
– The information asset was manipulated
– The information asset became unavailable
When these questions raise concerns about unacceptable risk, you then need to take action.
We have the resources, expertise, and experience to help you understand, assess and mitigate such security gaps in your environment.
