Cyber Risk Assessments
Are you aware of what risks you are exposed to, or the risk assessments you are required to perform? What is the most cost-effective way of protecting your digital assets? At Zacco, we can assist you.
Cyber Security Risk assessment is the process of identifying, analysing and evaluating risk. The service ensures that the cyber security controls/capabilities you choose to implement are appropriate to the risks your organisation faces and accepts. Without a risk assessment to inform your cyber security choices and quantify the risks, you could waste time and money on risks that are unlikely to occur or that will not affect your organisation.
Likewise, it is possible that you will underestimate or overlook risks that could cause significant damage. This is why so many best-practice frameworks, standards and laws – including the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and DPA (Data Protection Act) 2018 – require risk assessments.
Cyber Security Risk Assessment helps you prioritise your efforts
First, the assessment identifies the information assets that could be affected by a cyber-attack, such as hardware, systems, databases, applications, customer data and intellectual property. It then identifies the risks that could affect these assets. After their identification, we estimate the risks and evaluate them. Then, we select the controls needed to treat the identified risks.
It is important to continually monitor and review the risk environment for your organisation to detect any changes. With our help, you are able to maintain an overview of the complete risk management process.
