Risk Assessment
The First step for any compliance requirements.
There are many security compliance frameworks and regulations and all of them have one thing in common: the first step in having your organization undergo a thorough risk assessment.
Why It Matters
A risk assessment is the process of identifying, estimating, and prioritizing various risks and vulnerabilities that could affect assets, operations, individuals, or customers because of an incident that could compromise data controlled by the organization. It involves assessing the potential entry points, assets, threats, and security controls. The assessment informs stakeholders of the risks to the organization and what is required to mitigate those risks.
A risk assessment can help confirm that an organization is meeting its compliance obligations. The cost for risk assessments depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of the organization, the compliance program in question as well as the regulatory requirements. The cost for a risk assessment starts at $5,000 and increases depending on complexity.
