Information is an essential component of doing business. Today, most essential business information is in electronic form stored in desktop/laptop computers and servers connected to an internal network that is commonly connected to the Internet where information is exchanged. As a result, there are inherent risks that must be mitigated, prompting organizations to ask the question, “How do we protect sensitive information while allowing employees to efficiently do their jobs?”

Understanding the people, processes, and technology that interact with sensitive and mission-critical information equips the organization with the knowledge to understand the roles and responsibilities business applications owners and the IT personnel who manage the technology on which the business applications reside.

A risk assessment is the single most important information security activity that an organization can perform. A risk assessment will define the appropriateness and fitness of security control required within the organization and it allows the organization to make informed risk treatment decisions and investments. Risk-based decision making is the basis of almost every compliance requirement.

Sword & Shield provides our IT risk management services through the use of efficient processes and automated solutions that collect risk information that, when analyzed, can be translated to security controls to be implemented to become compliant and secure.
