Risk Management & Assessments
Stop managing information security.
Start managing enterprise risk.
Risks. We deal with risks every day. Crossing the street,
driving our cars, choosing the next task we will work on. Each
activity involves managing risks in our lives, mitigating some
and accepting others.
In the business world, risk management is a bit more complex but
is not rocket science. Risk management is integrating risk
recognition, risk assessment, developing mitigation or
management strategies, and implementing mitigation measures.
The objective of risk management is to reduce the predictable
risks to the organization to an acceptable level.
To manage specifically security risks, you need to accomplish four major objectives:
- Establish security policy
- Assess risk to better understand vulnerabilities
- Implement the right amount of protection
- Measure and enforce compliance
RondoTech consultants are highly skilled in developing,
assessing, and enhancing information security management systems
and the tactical operations that implement the systems. Whether
your firm wishes to leverage NIST 800-53 or ISO-17799 /
ISO/IEC-27000, we can help you. Today.

There are
several paths to take once a risk has been identified:
mitigate the risk, accept the risk, transfer the
risk to someone else, or ignore the risk. Understanding
your organization's risk appetite, the magnitude of the
risk, and the probability that the risk will lead to an
incident are the first tasks in determining how to
handle risks.
Performing a
risk assessment organizes and analyzes the risks and
surrounding situations to provide management with the
information required to decide how to handle the risks.
Risk Assessments also establishes relative importance of the risk so
you can determine which to deal with first.
Otherwise, you
are just guessing.
