Challenge
An Information Security Risk Assessment can be an overwhelming task for even the most experienced security personnel. Properly conducted, a risk assessment requires a formal evaluation of the threats to the organization’s assets, an identification and classification of assets that need protection, and existing information security control implementations. As organizations begin to address information security more strategically, the process of risk assessment can suddenly become a paramount need. And yet the challenge of assessing risk seems so all-encompassing that it can be tough to know where to start. Without qualified experts engaged in regular risk assessment programs, organizations could be in jeopardy because of unidentified risks. Unfortunately, many organizations have neither the human, budget or technical resources needed to facilitate an ongoing risk management program.
