RISK ASSESSMENTS
When a plane crashes we all know the impact is huge and human life will
be lost. We cannot control the impact but we can control the likelihood
of an incident ever happening. Making sure the pilot has ample rest, that
critical systems are checked and luggage scans have been completed are only
a few things airlines do to reduce this likelihood.
Just like an airplane, your systems hold valuable assets, information
you can’t afford to have compromised or lost.
Our Risk Assessment process helps you determine the impact vs. the likelihood:
|
Remember., it only takes one compromised system to create a breach.
We strongly recommend a complete risks assessment
for your business!
Risk Assessment Process
Our proven process includes a thorough investigation of your business systems, critical applications and valuable digital assets to discover threats that could cause unexpected downtime, data loss or allow an attacker to compromise your network, giving them full access to your data and system resources. These organized crime units are interested in two things once they compromise your systems: (1) data they can steal to resell, including identity data or stored credit card data, and (2) your systems resources, so they can use your systems to send spam, compromise other systems and host illegal images or videos.
Sklar Technology recommends that our clients run periodic risk assessments
to assure their networks are secure at all times. This service is a key
aspect of our Complete Data Protection
Program service offering.
Digital
Asset Planning (DAP)
The Digital Asset Planning Process (DAP) was designed to provide a proactive review of business-level issues involving the identification of important data, the type of existing threats and how well-guarded your systems are against down time, malicious activities and other destructive threats. DAP is a process that allows key stake holders in your organization to work with industry experts in understanding what threats are present in your IT environment and how you can take proactive steps to reduce these risks.
Risk Assessment 
By combining security scanning and a thorough technical review with the DAP process, our engineers understand the bigger picture of where your technology may experience an interruption. While in the assessment process we uncover vulnerabilities that exist in the technology—flawed access controls, weaknesses in security architecture and potentially unwanted malicious programs that may give outsiders access to your businesses information. Using the output of these two procedures, Sklar Technology constructs a roadmap that brings your environment up to best practices specifications.
Proactively Addressing IT Concerns
Using the roadmap we develop in step one, 80 percent of our findings can be addressed through configuration changes, patching and the removal of unwanted programs. We often address the remaining 20 percent through technology changes and updates that either reduce risk or enhance the functionality of your systems. Sklar Technology specializes in helping organizations determine where changes can be made that will protect your technology investment while giving you the security and functionality to effectively grow your business.
