Information Security Risk Assessments

Start every cyber security journey with a risk assessment. However you choose to protect your organisation against data loss, fraud or cyber theft, find out what you should protect, first.

Overview

The Information Security Risk Assessment covers 14-areas of the business, from security to infrastructure, to assess the level of risk posed to the business. The assessment is based on the ISO 27001 (Information Security) standard and aligns with South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI). The assessment provides a good indication of how aligned are the organisation’s strategic enterprise goals and its IT operations.

The process

One of our CIO Advisors has a series of onsite meetings with various stakeholders in the organisation, such as the CIO or representatives from management who know the company’s policies and governance in general. (S)he asks the stakeholders a series of questions on each section in the ISO 27001 standard and compiles feedback on the rating scored within each section. During these meetings, we also score the quality of the organisation’s policies against the ISO 27001 standard’s controls. The ratings are based on the organisation’s knowledge, known practices and alignment of the respective controls to existing company policies.

What to expect

After we have scheduled and conducted the interview with your CIO or other managerial representatives, we provide you with a findings and recommendations report within 5-working days of the assessment. The report shows your organisation’s rating scored against each security control. We also include general feedback on the report’s findings and discuss it with you so that you can decide on an appropriate way forward.

The information security assessment report includes:

  • A compliance checklist;
  • Compliance results per ISO 27001 section;
  • Compliance results per control in the ISO 27001 standard;
  • A consolidated results dashboard.
