What is a Risk Assessment?

Easily identify security program gaps and prioritize investment

Secure Shield offers a comprehensive risk assessment designed to discover and quantify information security risk. An industry standard used by security practitioners around the country, our methodology helps inform effective security programs and allows organizations to prioritize and maximize investments. Quantification of risk provides a common language for security practitioners and executives to speak about risk. This allows organizations to understand their current standing, where they want to be, and how to get there.

Administrative

Sometimes referred to as the “human” part of information security and are controls used to govern other parts of information security.

External

Technical in nature, used to protect outside access to your organization’s technical domain (outside the gateways or firewalls).

Internal

The controls that are technical in nature and used within your organization’s technical domain (inside the gateways or firewalls).

Physical

Security controls that can often be touched and are controls that provide physical security to protect your information assets.
