IT Risk Assessments & IT Security Assessments

Oread Risk & Advisory is an industry leader in IT Risk assessments, online security assessments and online privacy reviews. Our IT Risk assessment takes the guesswork out of evaluating IT risks.  Our approach to assessing your entire IT universe will ensure that your IT systems, processes, and people are aligned with your strategic business objectives, that all IT risks are understood, and that the costs of safeguarding your assets are manageable and appropriate. By performing an IT risk and security assessment, you get complete visibility into the risks facing your company’s  IT environment. It is an essential assessment for companies that depend heavily on IT systems and processes to run their businesses and is a key component of a robust IT audit. Our assessments provide you with:

• Assurance for your BOD or executive team that IT risks are understood and properly controlled
• Clear information and expert opinions needed to make well-informed risk management decisions to justify an existing or planned IT budget
• A prioritized roadmap of remediation activities to address vulnerabilities, ensuring the greatest return on IT investments and long term protection of assets
• Documented alignment of IT objectives with organizational goals
• Identification and mitigation of critical risks within your IT environment

It’s important to note that the best offense is a good defense when it comes to your network’s security. An IT risk and security assessment provides your organization with the knowledge, expertise and efficiency needed to conduct thorough security and risk evaluations of your environment. Vulnerability testing can identify and quantify where your network is at risk. Penetration testing will subject your network to real-world cyber-attack scenarios and give an evaluation of organizational defenses.

Classically, IT security risk has been seen as the responsibility of the IT or network staff, as those individuals have the best understanding of the components of the control infrastructure. Moreover, security risk assessments have typically been performed within the IT department with little or no input from others. This  approach relies on too few inputs to make important decisions. Our services can ensure risk is mitigated and value is received from future IT investments.
