CyberSecurity Risk Assessment
How it Works
Tech Jacks Solutions’ Cyber Security Risk Assessment service provides businesses with a comprehensive analysis and clear visibility into their cybersecurity risks, compliance status, and improvement opportunities. Our detailed risk assessments are tailored to support strategic decision-making, ensuring your organization confidently manages cyber threats and capitalizes on growth opportunities. This service is offered both as a one-time comprehensive risk assessment or ongoing risk management support.
We utilize industry-leading cybersecurity frameworks, including ISO 27001, NIST SP 800-53, CIS Controls, HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, CSA Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM), and FedRAMP. This ensures comprehensive and accurate alignment with established security standards, enabling robust risk management practices.
Deliverables Include:
Comprehensive Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Report
Detailed Risk Register and Prioritized Risk Mitigation Plan
Compliance and Framework Gap Analysis
Strategic Recommendations for Risk Reduction
Incident Response Readiness & Maturity Assessment
Security Control Evaluation and Effectiveness Report
Executive-Level Risk Dashboard and Summaries
Where applicable, we may include Fair-based or other quantitative risk modeling to translate cyber risk into financial impact, giving leadership clear guidance on resource allocation.
Process & Results
Phase 1: Scoping, Planning & Asset Identification
Activities
- Hold initial stakeholder meetings and define assessment scope.
- Clarify compliance requirements (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, etc.).
- Identify critical assets, stakeholders, and business processes.
- Conduct a comprehensive asset inventory and prioritization.
- Perform a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) to gauge the consequences of potential incidents.
Deliverables
- Scope & Requirements Document: Outlines the agreed objectives, frameworks in focus, and timelines.
- Asset Inventory & BIA Summary: Provides a clear overview of critical assets, associated data classifications, and potential business impacts.
Phase 2: Vulnerability, Threat & Control Assessment
Activities
- Conduct internal and external vulnerability assessments using lightweight or open-source tools (e.g., Nmap, OpenVAS).
- Identify threats leveraging basic cyber threat intelligence sources.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of existing security controls.
- Perform a compliance gap analysis against selected standards (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA).
Deliverables
- Vulnerability & Threat Report: Consolidates discovered weaknesses and relevant threat insights, prioritized by risk.
- Control Effectiveness Matrix: Summarizes current security controls, highlighting strengths and gaps.
- Compliance Gap Analysis: Maps your environment to the relevant frameworks, pinpointing shortfalls or missing controls.
Phase 3: Incident Preparedness & Risk Quantification
Activities
- Evaluate existing incident response capability and maturity (policies, roles, escalation paths).
- Facilitate scenario-based tabletop exercises to test response actions.
- (Optional) Perform FAIR-based or qualitative financial risk analysis for the discovered vulnerabilities.
Deliverables
- Incident Preparedness Evaluation: Documents your response plans, existing gaps, and recommended improvements.
- Tabletop Exercise Report: Capture outcomes, identified weaknesses, and immediate action items from the scenario drills.
- Risk Quantification & Analysis: Presents either a High/Medium/Low rating or detailed FAIR-based cost estimates, guiding resource allocation.
Phase 4: Strategic Roadmap & Executive Reporting
Activities
- Develop a prioritized improvement roadmap addressing high-impact risks and compliance deficiencies.
- Prepare executive-level presentations with dashboards or scorecards for leadership review.
- Compile a comprehensive final risk assessment report encompassing all findings and recommendations.
Deliverables
- Cybersecurity Improvement Roadmap: Lays out timelines, responsibilities, and cost approximations for each initiative.
- Executive Dashboards & Presentation: Summarizes key insights, risk posture, and recommended investments, ensuring leadership buy-in.
- Final Risk Assessment Report: Consolidates vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, incident readiness, and strategic guidance into one definitive document.
Business Value Created
