Understand and eliminate risk
Before your business can effectively manage its risks, it needs to identify them first. Envision will partner with your organization to perform a Technical Risk Assessment: a comprehensive process designed to identify, analyze, and mitigate potential risks associated with your organization’s operations.
4 key benefits of a Technical Risk Assessment:
- Enhanced resilience against potential disruptions.
- Improved decision-making based on a thorough understanding of operational risks.
- Compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards.
- Strengthened stakeholder confidence in the organization’s IT infrastructure.
There are cyber strategies you're not implementing.
Social engineering is a sophisticated form of cyberattack that exploits human psychology rather than technical vulnerabilities. It involves manipulating individuals into divulging confidential information or granting unauthorized access to systems, making the human element the “weakest link” in the security chain. Unlike traditional cyberattacks that target software or systems, social engineers “hack” human behavior, often with devastating consequences for organizations of all sizes.
What to expect during a Technical Risk Assessment:
Clearly outline the scope of the IT Operational Risk Assessment, covering systems, processes, people, and assets. Establish specific objectives aligned with organizational risk management goals to guide the assessment effectively.
Compile an inventory of IT assets, including hardware, software, data, and personnel. Map dependencies to understand potential risks comprehensively.
Collaborate with stakeholders to identify and document potential threats, including external (e.g., cyberattacks, natural disasters) and internal (e.g., system failures, unauthorized access).
Thoroughly assess vulnerabilities in IT assets and systems, identifying weaknesses in hardware, software, and processes that could be exploited by potential threats.
Quantify and prioritize identified risks based on potential impact, urgency, and likelihood. Assess consequences and determine the organization’s risk tolerance.
Develop and implement control measures to mitigate risks, aligning with industry best practices and regulatory requirements. This includes security protocols, disaster recovery plans, training, and technology solutions.
Establish continuous monitoring to track changes and emerging risks. Regularly review and update the risk assessment to maintain effectiveness against evolving threats.
Prepare a comprehensive report summarizing findings and recommendations. Communicate results to stakeholders to foster awareness and accountability.
Comprehensive Network Security Assessments (CNSAs)
Conducted by our US-based team of Certified Ethical Hackers, CNSA assessments maximize the Return on Investment (ROI) of your infrastructure from a security adoption standpoint.
This comprehensive service includes an internal and an external vulnerability assessment, as well as manual validation and penetration testing of internal and externally facing networks, systems, sites, and applications from a threat actor’s perspective.
Our team identifies, manually validates, and attempts to exploit security vulnerabilities. Then we use that knowledge to develop an actionable remediation plan and recommendations for improved security.
Run by the best professionals in the industry, a CNSA will validate your current security strategies, help you identify areas for opportunity, and help you to meet compliance and flow-down obligations.
Risk Mitigation
Risk mitigation strategies are incomplete without CNSAs because they provide in-depth insight into the security posture of networks and systems.
Certified Ethical Hackers
Our Certified Ethical Hackers conduct internal and external vulnerability assessments in conjunction with penetration testing of internal and externally facing networks, systems, sites and applications. By applying advanced tooling and human intelligence, we can expand on the attack patterns and methodologies of real cybercriminals and iterate in real-time.
Reporting
The resulting reporting is designed to help your team plan, budget, prioritize and execute remediation efforts. It also provides clear evidence of your commitment to security to interested parties like insurance and compliance auditors.
