A risk assessment is a process by which an organization analyzes vulnerabilities, potential threats and risks to the organization’s security posture and IT systems. Performing a risk assessment is a critical component of any Information Security program. Because it’s mandated by several frameworks (SOC 1, SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, FISMA), organizations wanting to comply with these frameworks must conduct risk assessments on a regular basis. By doing so, organizations will be able to stay on top of mitigating vulnerabilities in their security posture and demonstrate to their current and potential clients that they are performing their due diligence in keeping sensitive assets secure.
