Risk and Vulnerability Assessment
A risk and vulnerability assessment reveals security lapses and oversights businesses miss. Small business organizations who implement best practices, schedule a vulnerability assessment on a recurring basis for clear visibility into their Information Technology (IT) health.
In general terms, a risk assessment determines the likelihood of a potential loss. With technology involved, vulnerabilities exist within any business environment that can lead to the loss of assets.
Once you know the risks within your business, informed decisions can be made on how to avoid, transfer, accept or reduce the discovered risks. The risk equation is as follows:
Risk = Threat x Vulnerability x Asset
