Audit & Risk Assessment of Data Information Handling Practices:
A key component of our Information security is our risk assessment. This process is used to identify and understand risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and information systems. An adequate assessment identifies the value and sensitivity of information and system components and then balances that knowledge with the exposure from threats and vulnerabilities. A risk assessment is a necessary prerequisite to the formation of strategies that guide the corporation as it develops, implements, tests, and maintains its information systems security policies. We have developed an objective measurement methodology that reveals weaknesses or violations, and we recommend specific steps to return to compliance.
