Risk AssessmentCybersecurity Risk Assessment Service

Service Overview

Infosec Advisory's Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Service is a consulting service that objectively and comprehensively evaluates your organization's security measures and visualizes its security maturity and risks.

Our experts identify risks using an approach that incorporates a management perspective and provide specific recommendations for future improvements. By clarifying weaknesses and challenges across the organization, we help you achieve efficient and effective security enhancement.

We conduct assessments aligned with your cybersecurity standards as well as the ISO 27001 and NIST SP 800-171 frameworks.

In recent years, organizations doing business with Japanese government agencies and the defense industry have faced growing requirements to comply with U.S. cybersecurity standards such as NIST SP 800-171. We provide risk assessments designed with compliance with these international standards and guidelines in mind, enabling us to address a broad range of security requirements.

Service Objectives

Visualize Security Maturity

We evaluate your organization's information security measures from multiple quantitative and qualitative perspectives. In addition to establishing a clear picture of the current state, we objectively benchmark your organization's maturity against requirements such as ISO/IEC 27001 and NIST SP 800-171.

Develop IT Security Improvements to Address Identified Issues

Based on the assessment results, we develop security improvements tailored to the risks and vulnerabilities identified. We prioritize short-, medium-, and long-term initiatives and create an actionable roadmap.

Service Benefits

Visualize Security Levels Across the Organization

After categorizing risks by type, impact, and likelihood, we visualize the organization's security measures using scores, graphs, and other formats. This helps all stakeholders, including senior management, develop a shared understanding of the current situation.

Support Compliance with ISO 27001 and NIST SP 800-171

We identify gaps against the requirements of international standards and guidelines and support a smooth path toward certification and fulfillment of business requirements.

Optimize Investment and Resource Allocation

Because we recommend improvements in priority order, you can clearly determine where to focus limited resources and make more effective security investments.

Build Management Understanding and Consensus

We objectively present risks and the priority of countermeasures, providing the information essential to management decisions in a clear format. This makes it easier to gain support for security investments.

Assessment Process

1. Current-State Assessment Phase

1. 1 Understand External Trends

   We collect and analyze the latest threat intelligence and external security reports to understand cyberattack methods and trends affecting your industry. We also review the latest developments in relevant laws, regulations, and guidelines to determine whether the current level of security measures is appropriate.

2. 2 Understand Changes in the Internal Environment

   We comprehensively review past incidents and responses, IT infrastructure configurations, operating rules, policies, and security procedures to identify risk factors within the organization's current structure and processes.

3. 3 Conduct Detailed Interviews and Questionnaires

   Through interviews with security personnel and relevant departments, we identify current measures and challenges and clarify potential risks.

2. Improvement Planning Phase

1. 1 Determine the Most Effective Security Improvements

   For each identified risk, we recommend specific measures ranging from immediate actions to long-term initiatives, taking priorities and cost-effectiveness into account.

2. 2 Develop an Implementation Roadmap

   Taking your organizational structure, budget, and available resources into account, we create a phased implementation roadmap and present it in a format that is clear to senior management.
