Risk assessment is the only way for senior managers to ensure that controls are cost effective and appropriate.
Risk Management involves evaluating threats and assessing potential impacts (losses) so that measures can be identified and implemented to safeguard important business assets and thus avoid losses.
The success parameters of modern organisations have raised the stakes for implementing a process of information risk assessment. These include the need to comply with legislation and regulation (such as the Data Protection Act, Combined Code and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX)), as well as protecting its market reputation, providing fast and accurate information and generally putting itself in a position to exploit the Internet and emerging technologies.
The implementation of formal information risk assessment will ensure that senior management, as an organisation's risk takers, are provided with credible, timely and quantifiable intelligence about the actual risks, as opposed to perceived ones, which they face. They can then determine more precisely their security budget and where it should be targeted.
