Information Security Risk Assessment
A business must prioritize risks to the
organizations operations, information, tangible
and intangible assets. It is extremely important
in todays environment to consider how the
companys IT infrastructure controls can reduce
its risks and minimize financial loss. To begin
an information security risk assessment, an
analyst should take a look at the total of all
assets, including information assets, and how a
significant event could result in a monetary loss
if the organization were to suffer downtime or
damage resulting from a unforeseen event
impacting their website, primary servers or
production data.

Risk Management and Control
Risk management is a necessary gauge to ensure a
company follows current and relevant regulations,
implements effective operations, and protects
sensitive information and data. Based on size, a
company appoints an individual or teams of
individuals to be responsible for monitoring the
effectiveness of the risk management posture and
accompanying internal controls that are placed
into the environment.

Data Protection
One of the core areas to protect within a
business is the data. Whether data belongs to the
customer or the company, all information is
classified under what is called a data
classification policy. This policy allows
management to determine the various data types
present in an organization and what types of
security controls are necessary to protect to
prevent the risk of breach, theft, or fraud. Data
can be classified as public, internal use only,
confidential and secret, or proprietary.
