Risk management is the process for identifying, analyzing, and communicating risk and accepting, avoiding, transferring, or controlling it to an acceptable level considering associated costs and benefits of any actions taken.
ISN works closely with our clients to understand our client’s security risk profile and risk appetite. We then use industry best practices and subject matter experts to establish and implement a security risk management plan. These plans can include, creating a robust enterprise security management system, conducting threat, risk and vulnerability assessments, training employees on how they each play a role in minimizing the organization’s risk profile or conducting detailed investigations on security breaches or employee misconduct.
The ISN Risk Management consultants work closely with our clients, providing a dedicated approach focused on helping protect their enterprise concerns. We provide hands-on expertise in key areas, including:
A corporate Security Plan Gap Analysis provides a comparison of your current security program versus overall best security practices. This allows us to shed light on areas where vulnerabilities and risks are lurking. Our goal is to help our clients protect their assets and reduce risk in the event of an emergency. This makes them become more resilient when faced with internal or external threats and helps speed business recovery cycles. The impact of business interruptions can differ dramatically depending on your type of operation, priorities and customer/employee needs. Therefore, an effective Security Plan Gap Analysis must take into account potential risks to assets, property and personnel and identify strategies for risk mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. ISN’s risk management experts have extensive national and international experience in conducting these evaluations and can specifically tailor a plan for your organization.
The ISN gap analysis process involves determining and documenting the variance between the requirements set forth in legislation, guidelines and/or best practice standards and our client’s current security program. This includes, but is not limited to;
-
Audit of existing security programs and systems
-
Audit of procedures and protocols
-
Exterior intrusion analysis
Once the gaps are identified a Security Improvement Plan can be developed that provides a foundation for setting priorities, assigning ownership, allocating investments of time, money and human resources and for measuring and improving compliance with the guidelines. Whether it’s camera/alarm systems, improved security protocols or access control, the ISN team will work with you from recommendation to implementation to ensure your individual security needs are met.
