We’re specialists in navigating the complexities of cyber security through comprehensive NIST risk assessments.

We believe that a well-executed risk assessment is crucial for ensuring compliance and safeguarding your business operations from various digital threats.

Our experienced cyber specialists specialise in offering extensive NIST risk assessment and NIST CSF assessment services that are tailored to your individual company’s needs and objectives.

We are committed to assisting you in identifying, assessing, and eventually mitigating cyber threats, allowing you to make more educated choices and improve your entire cyber security posture.

Our Approach

We use a structured process specified in the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Risk Assessment Guidelines.

This systematic methodology enables us to completely assess your organisation’s cyber security status and provide meaningful suggestions for improvement.

The NIST SP 800 series provides thorough guidance for risk assessments, while the NIST cyber security framework takes a comprehensive approach to managing cyber security risks, guaranteeing compliance with legislation such as HIPAA, FISMA and SOX.

Initial Consultation

We begin by extensively assessing your particular needs and the unique obstacles you face in your business. This step lays the groundwork for the whole evaluation, ensuring that we concentrate exactly where your company needs it the most.

Data Collection and Analysis

Our team collects existing data from your organisation’s networks and systems. We use modern techniques and professional insights to completely assess your present security measures and find any flaws.

Risk Identification

We scan your system for security holes and threats using the thorough NIST methodology, then assess the probability and impact of each risk on your business operations.

Risk Treatment & Mitigation Planning

Based on the assessment results, we create a tailored risk treatment and mitigation plan that details specific activities to decrease your risk exposure and improve your overall cyber security posture.

Recommendation and Roadmap Development

Based on our findings, we develop precise suggestions to boost your security posture. We also provide a clear and practical implementation roadmap that is consistent with NIST standards, bringing you through the necessary improvements step by step.

FAQ

How long does a normal NIST risk assessment take, and what level of participation is expected from our internal team?

The length of a NIST risk assessment varies according to the size and complexity of your company, as well as the scope of the assessment. An assessment might last anything from a few weeks to many months.

We strive to be efficient while providing thorough coverage. Your internal team’s engagement is critical, particularly from your IT and security departments. They will need to grant access to systems and data and may be required to discuss processes and security measures. However, we strive to limit disruptions to your everyday activities as much as possible.

How often should we conduct NIST risk assessments?

We suggest that you undertake NIST risk assessments at least once a year or if there are substantial changes to your IT environment, such as new system deployments, major updates, or after a major security event.

Regular assessments help to ensure that new risks are discovered and addressed as soon as possible and that your security posture stays strong in the face of emerging threats.

Do you offer ongoing support or continuous monitoring services?

Yes, we provide continuing support and monitoring services. Following a NIST risk assessment, we can conduct periodic reviews and real-time monitoring to ensure that any new risks are discovered and addressed promptly. This helps to maintain your compliance and security posture over time.

Can you help us prioritise and provide guidance on budget allocation for risk mitigation?

As part of our risk assessment process, we prioritise identified hazards based on their potential effect and likelihood. This allows you to better allocate your cyber security budget by prioritising the most crucial areas. We give extensive advice on how to deploy resources to manage these risks, ensuring that your investment in cyber defences is put to the best use possible.

Can you align the NIST risk assessment findings with GDPR, HIPAA, Essential 8, or industry-specific regulations?

As part of our risk assessment process, we map the identified risks and recommended controls to the relevant regulatory requirements. This helps you understand how the assessment findings relate to your compliance obligations and enables you to demonstrate adherence to industry standards.

We can also advise on how to build controls and processes that match the unique criteria of this legislation, ensuring that your company achieves and maintains compliance while improving its overall cybersecurity posture.
