Risk Assessment.
One of the most challenging tasks faced by any CIO or CISO is deciding where limited budget should go.
Detail
Engagements are staffed with auditors and audit specialists who have done the job in-house, several with more than twenty years of experience.
Without a doubt, one of the most challenging tasks faced by most Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and/or Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) is determining how best to expend limited security resources (budget) in the protection of corporate assets against almost unlimited, and to a large extent, unknown threats.
A Needling Worldwide Risk Assessment systematically identifies and values critical IT assets, determines the threats that apply to them, and documents both control weaknesses and the likelihood that a vulnerability is exploited.
The result is an ordered list of risk, ranked highest to lowest, that management can take straight into a budget conversation.
