What it is
A security risk assessment connects threats and weaknesses to potential business impact. It gives decision-makers a prioritized view of exposure across systems, networks, people, vendors, and governance.

Essentials
Questions answered directly.
What is assessed?
Scope may include systems, networks, cloud, identity, business processes, policies, vendors, data, and existing security controls.
Will the report work for executives and technical teams?
Yes. Findings are structured to explain business impact and decision priorities while preserving technical detail for remediation owners.
Is this the same as penetration testing?
No. A risk assessment is broader and may examine governance, process, and business impact. Penetration testing actively validates exploitable weaknesses under agreed rules.
When should assessments be repeated?
Repeat after material change, major incidents, acquisitions, new regulatory exposure, or on a risk-based periodic cycle.
