Cyber Security Risk Assessment
Understand Your Cyber Risk Exposure
A structured cyber security risk assessment gives your organisation a clear, evidence-based picture of its risk exposure — and a prioritised roadmap to reduce it.
What a cyber security risk assessment covers
A cyber security risk assessment is a structured process for identifying the threats your organisation faces, evaluating the controls you have in place to manage them, and determining your residual risk exposure. CyberXM conducts risk assessments aligned to recognised frameworks including ISO/IEC 27001:2022, NIST CSF and the Essential Eight — producing findings that are practical, evidence-based and actionable.
What you receive
- Risk assessment report with findings, risk ratings and evidence
- Risk register with likelihood, impact and residual risk scores
- Prioritised remediation roadmap
- Executive summary suitable for board or leadership reporting
- Framework alignment mapping (ISO/IEC 27001:2022, NIST CSF, Essential Eight)
How CyberXM conducts the assessment
Scoping
We define the scope of the assessment — the systems, processes, data and organisational units to be covered — aligned to your risk appetite and objectives.
Threat & vulnerability identification
We identify the threats relevant to your environment and the vulnerabilities that could be exploited — drawing on interviews, documentation review and technical evidence.
Control assessment
We assess the controls you have in place to manage identified risks — evaluating their design effectiveness and, where possible, their operating effectiveness.
Risk analysis & rating
We analyse each identified risk — assessing likelihood and potential impact — and assign a risk rating to support prioritisation decisions.
Risk treatment recommendations
We recommend risk treatment options for each identified risk — accept, mitigate, transfer or avoid — with practical guidance on how to implement mitigations.
Reporting & presentation
We produce a clear, structured risk assessment report and, where required, present findings to your leadership team or board.
