Risk Assessment & Mitigation
Start Your Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Today!
Risk assessments are vital to any organization’s information security and internal audit plan. An information security risk assessment evaluates potential incidents that could affect an organization’s sensitive data and operations. The goal of the risk assessment is to provide assurance that the organization has identified threats and other security risk as well as addressed the risk to protect the organizational information assets. Following the risk assessment organizations develop their Risk Assessment Framework. The Risk Assessment Framework helps the organization prioritize, address and plan for potential incidents that have been identified.
