The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed the 800-30 framework as a gold standard for risk management. By following this methodology, your organization benefits from a transparent, systematic process that prioritizes threats based on their likelihood and potential impact. The result? A clear action plan tailored to reduce risks while aligning with industry best practices.
When you choose our Cyber Risk Assessment based on NIST 800-30, you’ll gain the insights necessary to understand:
Before we begin, we work with you to define the scope of the risk assessment. This includes identifying the assets, systems, and data critical to your operations. By clearly outlining the parameters, we ensure the results are focused and relevant to your organization’s unique environment.
Next, we investigate potential threats to your systems, whether they come from external attackers, insider threats, or systemic vulnerabilities. We also assess the weak points—such as expired patches or insufficient controls—that could be exploited by these threats.
Using the information gathered, we evaluate each risk by examining two key factors: Likelihood: How likely is this threat to materialize? Impact: If it does occur, what is the level of disruption or harm it could cause? This process helps prioritize the most critical risks, ensuring efforts are concentrated where they’re needed most.
At this stage, we compare identified risks against your organization's risk tolerance and compliance requirements. This step moves beyond identifying issues to determine which risks must be addressed, reduced, or accepted based on your specific business objectives.
With the analysis complete, we provide a tailored risk mitigation plan. Each recommendation is practical, actionable, and aligned with your organization's needs. Whether it's implementing stronger access controls, upgrading outdated software, or training employees, our goal is to deliver strategies that strengthen your security defenses.
Cyber risks evolve, and so should your cybersecurity measures. That’s why we include guidance on monitoring your security environment and adapting to new vulnerabilities and threats as they emerge.
