Identify Security Risks

Assessing risk includes identifying two factors: the likelihood of an attack and the impact of an attack. Identifying and then assessing risks before a security incident are proactive, preventive measures that help to mitigate vulnerabilities and threats to your data and systems.

Accudata’s IT and application risk assessments identify security risks affecting the environment, focusing on personally identified information (PII) stored, processed, or transmitted. PII is any information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, either alone or when combined with other related information. To achieve this objective, all PII data flows are identified and then mapped to corresponding technologies to identify the risk landscape. The existence and effectiveness of risk-mitigating security controls are then established and observed, from which findings and opportunities to reduce risk are identified.

Our certified experts perform a range of IT and application risk assessments, including the following:

Payment Card Industry (PCI) Risk Assessment

This assessment fulfills the annual assessment requirement for PCI Merchants and Service Providers. Some customers perform this internally, while others prefer an external assessor.

Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Risk Assessment

The HIPAA risk assessment is a recurring requirement for healthcare providers.

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Risk Assessment

This assessment evaluates your organization’s alignment with the NIST CSF.

ISO 27001/27002 Risk Assessment

This assessment evaluates your organization’s alignment with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001/27002 frameworks.
