How does SecuriThink approach an assessment?
The SecuriThink methodology draws on a bank of over 200 questions from which a dynamic subset is selected for your project. We work with you to ensure the sample of stakeholders is useful and often apply different question protocols according to their role.
Assessment areas typically include:
- Characteristics of the change (ex. current/desired state; relevant history, impact, knowns/unknowns)
- Characteristics of the organization (e.g. business purpose, structure, culture, locations, readiness for change)
- Business context (e.g. relevant industry and marketplace trends, regulations, and cyber threat landscape)
- Risks and Opportunities for Leverage (e.g. compare/contrast this project to research and best practices)
