Risk Analysis:
Who needs a
Risk Analysis?
Regulations (HIPAA
and Gramm/Leach/Bliley) will require any entity that electronically
stores medical and/or financial records to conduct a Risk Analysis.
Our Unique Process
Our Risk Analysis
is unique in that it goes far beyond the reporting function. We take it
further by presenting you with a project management tool that includes a
list of recommendations to be used in an overall Gap Analysis.
We identify
threats, the severity of the threats, and the resources required to
remediate vulnerabilities so that your action plan can produce an
effective level of security.
Our three-pronged
approach to risk analysis covers administrative, physical, and
technical issues. Our analysis starts with the following
assessments: Policy/Procedure Review, Perimeter Testing to
document all vulnerabilities inherent in your existing system, and
an
Internal Network Scan that mimics attack methods utilized by
insiders as well as hackers that have breached your perimeter.
Project
Management is the Key
Our vulnerability
matrix is a project plan that allows your team to effectively implement
remediation activities with a top-down, risk-based approach.
Recommendations are
prioritized so that you can take a first-things-first
approach to addressing any identified vulnerabilities, allowing you to
establish acceptable risk.
Critical path analysis, resource planning,
budgeting, and status benchmarks are key tools provided by our
methodology.
Our matrix includes an
index developed with the help of many security organizations and
associations. This
algorithm helps your remediation team benchmark progress over time.
It organizes the report with the highest-risk, easiest-to-fix
vulnerabilities at the top and the lowest-risk, hardest-to-fix
vulnerabilities at the bottom. Technical information is provided
(in CD format) so that your technicians can drill down for more details
when necessary.
