Risk Assessments
Business-aligned information security risk assessments using ISO/IEC 27005:2022 and NIST SP 800-30 to identify, analyze, and prioritize risk so leaders can make informed decisions.
Overview
A risk assessment identifies the threats and vulnerabilities that matter most to your organization and expresses them in business terms. It answers a fundamental question for leadership: what could go wrong, how likely is it, what would it cost us, and what should we do about it first?
The methodology draws on ISO/IEC 27005:2022 and NIST SP 800-30, tailored to your context and risk appetite. Scope can include asset and process identification, threat and vulnerability analysis, likelihood and impact rating, and a prioritized risk treatment plan that supports budgeting and governance decisions.
