If your ability to function as a business depends on your I.T. infrastructure, it is essential to conduct regular reviews of your cybersecurity strategy and risks. A Cyber Security Risk Assessment is a comprehensive look at your I.T. infrastructure, identification of vulnerabilities, along with strategic planning of future I.T. needs. If you currently work with an I.T. service provider, don’t automatically assume that they are doing this. Check in with them to make sure.

Generally, a Cyber Security Risk Assessment looks at all of a company’s cybersecurity focuses on things like open ports on a firewall, missing software patches, weak passwords, and email security. Once a review is complete, your I.T. provider should furnish a report that provides an overall risk score, outlines what was reviewed, any discovered concerns and how those concerns should be addressed.
