Our Risk Assessment Process

We deliver targeted evaluations that align with your regulatory requirements, business objectives, and risk tolerance. Our team analyzes your systems, vendors, policies, and controls to identify where your cybersecurity posture is strong—and where you’re exposed.

Understand and Scope

Understand your goals, scope, business model, and regulatory or counterparty obligations.  Define assessment areas: infrastructure, vendors, applications, etc.

Information Gathering

Review existing policies, controls, diagrams, audit results, and conduct key stakeholder interviews

Threat & Risk Modeling

Identify threats and vulnerabilities relevant to your operations using industry-standard frameworks. Score inherent and residual risks, and prioritize results by likelihood and impact

GAP Analysis & Roadmap Development

Evaluate current control coverage and identify gaps against applicable frameworks

0 %

Supply chain attacks surged 400% from 2021-2023.

1 %

35.5% of all data breaches in 2024 stemmed from third-party compromises.

1 %

90% of supply‑chain interconnection breaches exploited vendor vulnerabilities—supply-chain incidents comprised 15% of all breaches in 2024, up 68% year-over-year.

1 %

41.4% of ransomware cases were linked to third-party access—largely through compromised file-transfer or remote access tools.

Special Emphasis

Measuring your cyber risk in a connected world.

Today’s business heavily relies on the services of many vendors to provide critical software, essential links in your supply chain, or to provide support.  Effective cybersecurity must include all connected or essential services from your portfolio of vendors. 

Data Privacy & Exposure Across Interconnected Systems

Risk: Data is constantly moving across systems and platforms, often without adequate safeguards, increasing the chance of unauthorized access or accidental leakage.

Examples: Misconfigured S3 buckets, over-permissive file sharing, API sprawl

Impact: GLBA/HIPAA violations, consumer trust loss, regulatory enforcement

Mitigation: Data classification, access control, DLP, encryption, and secure API management

Vendor Cyber Risk

Risk: Your organization’s cybersecurity is only as strong as the weakest link in your vendor ecosystem. Many third- and fourth-party vendors have direct access to your data or systems, making them prime targets for attackers.

Examples: Change Healthcare (2024), Kaseya (2021), MOVEit (2023), Snowflake (2024)

Impact: Data breaches, operational disruption, reputational harm, regulatory penalties

Mitigation: Third-party risk assessments, contract clauses, continuous vendor monitoring, and secure onboarding/offboarding processes

Supply Chain Attacks

Risk: Beyond IT vendors, attackers increasingly exploit software dependencies, open-source components, and service delivery chains to compromise downstream customers.

Examples: SolarWinds, Log4j, CI/CD pipeline attacks

Impact: Widespread malware propagation, hidden backdoors, indirect exposure to nation-state or APT activity

Mitigation: Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC), and threat intelligence integration

Expanded Attack Surface from IoT, Cloud, and Remote Access

Risk: Cloud apps, mobile workforces, and connected devices increase the number of entry points attackers can exploit—many of which lack basic hardening or visibility.

Examples: Insecure IoT devices, unmonitored cloud services, exposed RDP ports

Impact: Lateral movement, data exfiltration, credential compromise

Mitigation: Network segmentation, zero trust architecture, multi-factor authentication, and endpoint detection & response (EDR)
