Cyber Security Assessment Services
You can't protect your business from threats you don't know about.
A cyber security risk assessment gives you a clear, objective picture of your current security posture – identifying vulnerabilities, evaluating the likelihood and impact of potential threats, and providing a prioritised roadmap to reduce your risk.
Flux IT delivers thorough cyber security risk assessments and cybersecurity audits for Perth businesses across all industries.
Why Perth Businesses Need a Cyber Security Risk Assessment?
Many organisations underestimate their cyber risk – until they experience a breach.
A professional risk assessment removes assumptions and replaces them with facts.
It helps you understand:
- What your most valuable and sensitive assets are?
- How those assets could be compromised?
- Which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited?
- What the potential business impact of a successful attack would be?
- Where your biggest security gaps lie
- How to prioritise limited security investment for maximum impact
Difference Between Assessment and Audit
Assessment
A cyber security risk assessment is a systematic process for identifying, evaluating, and prioritising cyber risks
to your organisation.
It examines your people, processes, and technology to uncover security gaps, assess the
potential impact of various threat scenarios, and help you make informed decisions about where to invest in
security improvements.
Audit
A cybersecurity audit is a process that evaluates your security controls against recognised frameworks & standards to determine how well your current controls are performing.
Popular frameworks
Australian Government's Essential Eight
ISO 27001
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
