- Industry level trends
Design a defence strategy
The final step is to develop a strategy to address your most probable threats.

Security Assessments We Provide
Threat and Risk Assessment
This is where we take a general look at your IT security and determine the threats and risks your business could currently be susceptible to.
Threats and risks not only apply to external factors (hackers, malware, denial of service attacks) but internal factors, too.
Internal factors can include using outdated hardware, not having the latest security updates and patches, or holes in your network security that could allow outsiders to gain access through exploits.
With a holistic view of your susceptibility to common security threats and risks, we can then itemise these vulnerabilities on a scale of 1 to 10 and address each in order of importance.
Standard Gap Risk Assessment
This assesses which measures you have in place to address risks and which measures you still need to implement.
In other words, we identify the gaps between what you’re proactively doing to protect your business’s IT infrastructure and what you still need to do to improve that protection.
For example, while your onsite security could be quite robust, perhaps there are shortfalls when it comes to your remote security.
Cyber Maturity Assessment
A cyber maturity assessment takes a closer look at all of your current security protocols and response strategies, measuring how developed these practices are.
The less mature a practice is, the more room for improvement it has. If a practice is determined as mature, it indicates that you’re managing that component of security to an effective level.
Cyber maturity is often ranked at different levels. One scale that ranks the effectiveness of cyber security processes is as follows:
- Initial (Level 1): Security processes are informal and reactive.
- Repeatable (Level 2): Processes are documented and repeatable but may not be fully established.
- Defined (Level 3): Processes are well-defined, documented, and standardised.
- Managed (Level 4): Processes are quantitatively managed and measured.
- Optimised (Level 5): Processes are continuously improved and aligned with strategic goals.
Vulnerability Risk Assessment
While risk assessment places a broader focus on the myriad points of risk that can exist online, vulnerability risk assessment takes a more granular approach. Its focus is on identifying specific vulnerabilities that exist within your business’s network infrastructure.

Why is a Cyber Security Risk Assessment Important?
The world we live in is one where cyber security risks are at the forefront for most businesses. It doesn’t matter if your business’s operations are handled exclusively online or not. Almost all businesses need to rely on some type of IT network or online functionality to operate.
Failing to have proper cyber security measures in place for your business is the same as riding a motorbike without a helmet. Sure, you could do that if you wanted, but you’re risking far more than you ever should by doing so.
To be adequately protected, you need to assess your risks and any vulnerabilities in your security.

IT Security Risk Assessment FAQs
What are the benefits of having a regular cyber security audit or IT security assessment?
Cybersecurity audits comprehensively assess your organisation’s digital landscape, identifying potential weaknesses and vulnerabilities in your systems and networks. This could include outdated software, unsecured access points, weak passwords, or lack of encryption.
By identifying these risks early on, you can take proactive measures to strengthen your defences and reduce the likelihood of cyberattacks, data breaches, or system failures.
Regular IT security assessments ensure that your business remains compliant with these regulations by continually checking that the required controls are in place and effective.
How can a cyber security risk assessment help identify potential security threats?
A cybersecurity risk assessment is a critical part of any organisation’s security strategy. It helps identify potential security threats in several ways:
Risk Assessments Help Evaluate Threats
By evaluating the potential impact of different threats, a risk assessment helps prioritise which vulnerabilities to address first. For example, a weakness that could potentially expose sensitive customer data would be considered higher risk than one that impacts less sensitive information.
Risk Assessments Help Strategise Solutions
Once potential vulnerabilities and threats are identified, the assessment can help develop strategies to mitigate those risks. This could include patching software, strengthening access controls, improving encryption, or enhancing user training.
Risk Assessments Help Develop a Roadmap
By systematically examining your IT environment and the potential threats it faces, a cybersecurity risk assessment provides a roadmap for improving your organisation’s security posture and reducing the risk of a damaging cyber attack.
What are frameworks typically used to conduct a cyber security audit?
Frameworks play a crucial role in cybersecurity audits as they provide a structured approach to identifying, managing, and mitigating cybersecurity risks. Here are some key reasons why frameworks are important:
Standardisation
Frameworks provide standardised guidelines and best practices for conducting a thorough and effective cybersecurity audit. This standardisation ensures that audits are comprehensive and consistent and that they cover all critical areas of cybersecurity.
Risk Management
Frameworks guide organisations in managing cybersecurity risks effectively. They can help businesses identify their most critical assets, assess their vulnerabilities, understand the potential impact of different threats, and prioritise mitigation strategies accordingly.
Regulatory Compliance
Many cybersecurity frameworks align with regulatory requirements and industry standards. By adhering to these regulations, organisations can ensure they meet their legal obligations and avoid potential penalties.
How often should a security audit and why?
The frequency of security audits can depend on various factors, such as the size of your organisation, the nature of your business, the sensitivity of your data, and your regulatory environment. However, a generally accepted best practice is to conduct a full cybersecurity audit at least once a year.
