Security Health Check
Helping You Make the Right Decisions to Reduce Risk
A 2023 UK government report states just 29% of all businesses conducted a security assessment during the previous year.
​
Question: Why do so few organisations take the time to conduct an assessment?
Answer: It’s hard! Assessments require specific skills and experience to be successful.
And while assessments typically uncover some challenges:
​
-
Fewer controls in place than people thought.
​
-
Risks are not presented in a business context.
​
-
Some risks have never been articulated.
​
-
Investment needed to fix gaps is poorly understood.
Assessments also present opportunities. Now you can:
-
Define and track risk reduction from a clear position.
​
-
Prioritise activity to address highest-risk areas first.
​
-
Develop a security improvement plan.
​
-
Provide a business case for security investment.
