What are security risk assessments?
Security Risk Assessments (SRAs) are important tools that businesses can use to help protect their confidential information and assets. SRAs allow businesses to identify potential security threats before they become a problem, and develop solutions to mitigate those risks.
By working with Brightline IT to conduct regular SRAs, businesses can ensure that their confidential data is safe and secure.
There are a number of different methods that can be used to conduct a Security Risk Assessment.
“Threat-based” model
- Identifies potential threats and vulnerabilities in the business environment
- Creates solutions to address them
“Risk-based” model
- Focuses on the potential risks and consequences associated with those risk
- Puts priority on the most serious risks
