Find out how to start a NIST 800-30 Risk Assessment
An organization’s data is one of its most important assets. A NIST 800-30 Risk Assessment helps you identify threats, vulnerabilities, and risks to your organization and sensitive data.
Achieving and maintaining compliance protects your business from fines and penalties, and ultimately keeps clients, partners, or upper management happy.
Completing a NIST 800-30 Risk Assessment fulfills aspects of regulatory compliance standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, EI3PA, GLBA, FISMA, and SOX.
The results of your Risk Assessment guide your remediation efforts and risk management efforts moving forward. The Risk Assessment Process includes the following steps:
1. Prepare for assessment by identifying scope
2. Identify threat sources
3. Identify vulnerabilities
4. Determine likelihood of threat events occuring
5. Determine magnitude of impact of threat events
6. Risk determination (likelihood + magnitude of threat events
7. Communicate results
8. Monitor risk factors going forward
SecurityMetrics gives you the facts on every aspect of your assessment through an easy-to-understand online reporting console. Once you understand your threats and risk, you can move forward with your day-to-day business with confidence because you will be aware of what to monitor. With careful monitoring, you’re able to take faster action to remediate vulnerabilities before they cause lasting effects on your business.
We have been customers of SecurityMetrics for about eight years. We are so impressed with the patient and professional way that their staff treats customers. They do not hurry, seem tired, act annoyed or too busy to work with their customers. Every person I spoke to was great!
