Security Risk Management Process

Our AR INTELL Security Risk Management Process aims to provide you with an in-depth set of security methods & threat intelligence insights. We manage Your Security Risks by doing a Security Risk Assessment 1st. Hence we believe this will help you to clearly understand which security threats are important for your community, for you as an individual, or for your organization/company.

Security Risk Assessment, Threat Intelligence, and Risk Management must work hand in hand.

To protect your physical & digital assets effectively, a set of security controls needs to be in place. These controls will function as deterring elements. They work in sync with detection systems and attack delay mechanisms. Other response methodologies are also to be considered.

Ask yourself how to respond to incidents.

We always start the process with an assessment of your best business practices, and standard operating procedures (SOPs). We will verify your security policies, industry-standard compliance, and other guidelines or regulations which should be in place at any organizational level.

 

Types of Security Risks & Threats:

Physical security risks & threats
  • theft, robbery & burglary
  • vandalism
  • terrorism
  • sabotage
  • natural disasters
  • physical violence
Cyber Security Risks
  • cyber security & digital security risks
  • computer security risks

threat intelligence

Threat Intelligence is not a luxury.

Levels of Security Assessment & Process

Our security risk assessment process will look at many different areas in your organization and issues. This done to make a preliminary security risk assessment report. These risk elements & risk areas are looked at during a specific process:

 

  • General context: strategic context, organizational context, risk management context


  • Threat Assessment – Vulnerability Assessment – Critical elements Assessment
    • conceptual threats
    • operational levels
    • physical levels
    • lighting
    • management levels
    • policy levels
    • training levels
    • security staff
    • electronic & digital systems
    • electrical systems
    • liability issues
    • legal issues
    • regulatory issues
    • structural design
    • perimeter & barrier security
    • analysis of security weaknesses and exploitation of opportunities
  • Risk Identification (who did what, with who, when, where, how, why)
  • Risk Assessment (likelihood of something happening & the consequences or effects
    • recommendations
    • options
    • trade-offs
  • Risk Evaluation (what can we tolerate and accept)
  • Risk Mitigation (avoid risks, sharing the risk-load, exploitation scenarios, acceptance, and reduction)
    • avoidance of risk
    • reduction of risk
    • spreading of risk
    • transfer of risk
    • acceptance of risk

Specific Information will be acquired by means of:

  • interviews
  • assessment of security posture
  • assessment of current security apparatus & infrastructure
  • history of security incidents
  • on-site research
  • analysis of crime or incident scenes
  • documentation reviews
  • policy reviews
  • SOP reviews
  • risk simulations
  • resource optimization
  • compliance verification
  • surveillance systems check
  • disaster recovery training

Risk Discovery Process

The whole purpose of the security risk discovery process is to establish an effective and realistic risk management strategy that allows you to reduce or limit the threats. As it happens threats can be real, perceived, or conceptual.

 

We will prevent opportunities or risky situations to occur. This can reduce the negative effects of misconfigurations, lack of security, accidents, mishaps, or disasters.

By compiling a hands-on security assessment report, we will help you to identify the risks to your assets & people. Based on accurate intelligence reports you will be able to make better security decisions.

Security Risk Analysis Report

We use 3 different methods which are reflected in our report.

Hybrid
Methodology

Quantitative Methodology

Qualitative Methodology

Contentwise our reports contain an executive summary, a list of security issues, and constructive suggestions which reflect upon:

  • your different levels of specific vulnerabilities
  • how you interact with your environment (inside / outside the organization)
  • applicable threats and their frequency of occurring
  • technical system connected
  • levels of data exposure
  • calculations of detailed Annual Loss Expectancy
  • Residual risks & threats

IT SECURITY AUDIT

IT Sedurity Audit Request

Why do you need an IT Security Audit?

To know if your IT infrastructure is secure, you need to perform a professional IT security audit.

  • Which IT security controls do you have in place?
  • Do you have a clear view and understanding of the security of your network
  • Which computer systems are in use?
  • What software are you running?
  • What are the users doing with the systems?

Ask yourself what would happen if you don’t run an audit on the security controls of your valuable digital assets?

  • your organization might get hacked or become the victim of a ransomware attack
  • you could easily become the target of a data breach or other types of cyber attacks

Both scenarios have disastrous consequences for your business its reputation and bottom line. The recovery from such events is a costly process.

Hence running IT security audits can be useful to prevent such disasters and create resilience.

IT Security Issues to consider:

  • risk management audit
  • vulnerability assessment
  • insider threat intelligence
  • avoid security breaches
  • avoid data leaks
  • avoid data theft
  • avoid ransomware attack
  • detect & prevent cyber attacks
risk management

Is your IT security system able to detect relevant threats and avoid data breaches?

Steps to take during the IT security audit:

  • choose a software platform to aggregate & do an inventory of security issues (enumeration of devices)
  • find a solution to monitor the data security, security strategy & its implementation
  • get an in-depth technical assessment report of your total IT infrastructure
  • decisions on the tactical and strategic levels can be based on factual findings of the security audit report.

  • information security requires you to get an integrated view, we don’t just look at silos.

Different types of IT Security Audits:
