Overview

About Security Risk Assessment

Why structured, proactive security testing is essential for your organization

Definition & Approach

Definition & Approach

A security risk assessment is a structured way to find out what could go wrong with your information and systems, how likely it is and how serious the impact would be. We identify assets, threats and vulnerabilities, score each risk and agree how to treat it.

Key Highlights:
  • Asset and data identification
  • Threat, vulnerability and impact analysis
  • Risk register with treatment plan
Business Urgency

Business Urgency

Security budgets are limited and threats keep changing. Without a clear view of risk, money is spent on the wrong things and serious exposures go unnoticed. A risk assessment is also a core requirement of ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA and many customer contracts.

What our security risk assessment covers

From critical assets to board-level reporting, we cover the full risk lifecycle.

Assets

Asset & Data Identification

List the systems, data and services that matter most and decide how critical each one is.

Key Vectors Tested:
Information and system inventoryData classificationBusiness impact ratings
Threats

Threat & Vulnerability Analysis

Identify the threats most relevant to your business and the weaknesses attackers could use.

Key Vectors Tested:
Ransomware and phishingInsider and supplier risksTechnical and process weaknesses
Scoring

Risk Scoring & Prioritisation

Rate each risk by likelihood and impact so that the most serious ones are clear.

Controls

Control Effectiveness Review

Check whether your current safeguards actually reduce the risks they are meant to address.

Suppliers

Third-Party & Supply Chain Risk

Assess the risk from suppliers, cloud providers and partners that handle your data.

Risk Treatment & Reporting

Agree whether to reduce, accept, transfer or avoid each risk, and report clearly to leadership.

Why you need this

Why you need a security risk assessment

Key Perspective 1
You cannot protect everything equally. A risk assessment shows what is most valuable, most exposed and most likely to be attacked, so you can act on facts rather than guesses.
Key Perspective 2
Regulators, insurers and customers increasingly ask for a current risk assessment. Having one ready speeds up audits, questionnaires and cyber insurance renewals.
