A cybersecurity risk assessment is a process designed to identify where your systems and security practices may be most vulnerable. The assessment includes a review of your security standards, an evaluation of your current IT controls, interviews with your team, and a risk assessment report that highlights areas of greatest concern.
How Often Should You Have a Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Done?
While it’s a good idea to have a process in place to continually evaluate your cybersecurity risks, a full risk assessment should also be performed once a year. Please note that this frequency may also depend on the size of your organization, your regulatory requirements, and the technology you have in place for your systems.
