Demand for Asset-Based IT Risk Assessments Is High 

Cybersecurity risk assessment is the process of identifying and evaluating risks for assets that could be affected by cyberattacks. Risk assessments are used to identify, estimate, and prioritize risk to organizational assets resulting from the operation and use of information systems. Risk Assessment has been around for quite some time, starting with NIST 800–30 back in 2002, and having been adopted by ISO 27001, ISACA, and the FFIEC. The purpose of risk assessments is to relevant threats to organizations, vulnerabilities both internal and external to organizations and impact to organizations. Demand for asset-based IT risk assessments is at an all-time high as most organizations lack dedicated staff. Small- to large-size businesses are increasingly relying on managed service providers (MSPs) to perform these assessments regularly. MSP being service oriented organizations are under creasing cost pressure as more than eighty percent of their cost is associated with the labor to manage and service customers.

Security and Compliance meet where the controls intersect for operational activities and audit requirements. When Cyber Security Risk Management is integrated into business processes, compliance becomes a derivative of operational security assessments.
