Security Assessment
What Is A Security Assessment?
Security assessment maps the risks of different types of cyber threats. This is what makes these assessments a crucial instrument to guarantee operational business continuity.
What does a Security Assessment include?
A Security Assessment describes the different information assets that could be impacted by a cyberattack (such as hardware, networks, smartphones, laptops, consumer data, and intellectual property), as well as the various threats that could affect those assets.
Typically, Security Assessment is carried out, accompanied by the selection of controls to address the defined risks. It is important to continuously track and revisit the risk environment in order to identify changes in the organization’s context and to maintain an overview of the entire risk management process.
