CYBER RISK MANAGEMENT
Cyber-attack is a business risk which needs to be addressed by the whole organisation, not just its IT function. With tried-and-tested risk assessment and gap analysis techniques, Fortis can make sure your business has maximised its defences and is properly prepared should the worst happen.
Is your organisation protected?
Managing your cyber risk
Many businesses regard cyber threats as a purely technical challenge, and the sole preserve of their IT function. In fact, cyber is an operational risk like any other, and needs to be properly understood and owned by business leaders. Research into cyber breaches clearly indicates that organisations with mature cyber risk management recover commercially far quicker than those which simply hoped for the best and failed to plan for the worst.
At Fortis, we tailor cyber risk assessment methodologies to suit each individual organisation, focussing on key business processes and information assets. Taking into account whether compromise to confidentiality, availability or integrity have the most serious impacts, we identify any gaps in organisational or technical security controls. These are reported at board level together with suggested mitigation activities and a summary of any residual risks.
The understanding of risks in this context allows a business to best protect itself against attack, and to put in place incident management and contingency plans that will optimise business recovery should an attack cause disruption.
