Risk Assessment
This is the
fundamental first step in managing an organisation's risk. A risk assessment
can take the form of a short BIA (Business Impact Assessment) or a full risk
assessment of a specific business area. IRM risk managers have a track record
of conducting various levels of risk assessment across diverse environments.
Examples of our past work include:
- A review of a bank's entire security organisation
- A risk assessment of the entire ground/air/ground communications system for
European air traffic control
- A risk assessment of weather forecasting arrays
- Various aspects of outsourcing contracts
- Developing and implementing information security policies across many
organisations
IRM
consultants also have extensive experience and expertise in carrying out
comparative risk assessments for clients to determine the relative risk levels
of:
- Competing technologies
- Different security solutions
- Alternative hosting sites
