What is a Cyber Threat and Risk Assessment?
A Cyber Threat and Risk assessment evaluates the level of risk associated with the target organizational assets. Assessments can be targeted to a specific system or process, or more broadly across the wider organization. CyberCX evaluate and provide findings to organizations on their current risk profile, identify potential threat and provide recommendations for improvement and a lowered risk rating within the business tolerance.
Who should consider an assessment?
All organizations require an understanding of their cyber risk environment but it may be due to different business drivers. An independent threat and risk assessment is suitable for organizations of all sizes implementing new processes or systems or making major organizational changes. Threat and risk assessments can be tailored depending on your requirements, from a single system or process to an entire organization. An annual risk review will allow you to track your progress over time and validate changes to internal operations.
Why is an assessment important?
Whilst regular internal risk evaluation and treatment is necessary, an outsourced and independent assessment can provide an unbiased perspective on potential threats and weaknesses. Recommendations can be tailored to a prioritized roadmap within organizational restraints, such as resourcing and technology.
