Security Risk Assessment Consulting for Risk Management and Protection

A security risk assessment identifies, analyses and prioritises potential threats to your people, assets, and operations. Risk and security management consultants have the specialist and technical knowledge to comprehensively evaluate your current security posture and offer advice on how to protect it.

What is a Security Risk Assessment?

A security risk assessment analyses the likelihood and potential impact of all risks affecting your operations, and recommends mitigation strategies to minimise or eliminate them. It’s a proactive and methodical approach designed to strengthen technical and operational defences, ensuring compliance with ISO standards and developing reliable, informed strategies in response. In an environment where threats to business have never been more complex or prevalent, Agilient security consulting helps organisations systematically assess their risk and develop tailored, enterprise-level strategies to safeguard their operations.

What’s involved in Risk Management and Security Risk Assessment?

Agilient conducts a comprehensive security risk assessment to identify vulnerabilities, evaluate risks, and develop tailored mitigation strategies. The key steps are:

Risk Identification

Agilient conducts a meticulous process to identify all critical assets and potential security risks that could affect the enterprise, logging vulnerabilities across all operations and information systems. It involves evaluating historical data and anticipating future threats based on the evolving security landscape.

Threat Assessment

Agilient identifies and analyses threat actors and threat acts that could impact organisational assets.

Risk Evaluation and Prioritisation

We evaluate the likelihood and potential impact of each risk to prioritise them based on their potential impact and likelihood of occurrence. This helps determine which threats warrant immediate attention and which can be addressed in longer-term strategies.

Risk Analysis and Integration

By analysing risks in greater detail, we can determine the appropriate responses and how these measures may best align with the organisation’s overall objectives, ensuring that planning complies with established security frameworks and complements business growth and strategic goals.

Risk Management Planning

The next stage in risk and security management planning involves designing and implementing strategies to mitigate, transfer, accept, or avoid risks based on the organisation’s context and resources. Our consultants are experts in designing custom solutions for a wide range of industries, and we develop tailored risk mitigation plans that match your sector and context.

Monitoring, Review and Communication

Security risks are ever-evolving, which is why Agilient continuously monitors identified threats and adjusts strategies to maintain organisational readiness. Through ongoing review and stakeholder consultation, our consultants ensure your enterprise remains responsive, risk-aware, and aligned around clear communication, fostering a culture of preparedness at every level.

faqs

frequently Asked questions

How do I know if my business needs a security risk assessment?

A security risk assessment is essential if your business handles sensitive data, operates critical infrastructure, or is required to meet regulatory standards (e.g., PSPF, ISO, GDPR). A risk management consultant is also vital after breaches, during major changes, or if policies are outdated or unclear. Any business—even startups— is vulnerable in today’s increasingly complex threat environment.

How often should security risk assessments be conducted?

A risk management security assessment should be conducted annually, or more frequently if you’ve had major operational, tech, or staffing changes. New threats, industry vulnerabilities, or compliance requirements may also trigger a review. It’s especially important after a breach or close call to reassess risk priorities and mitigation strategies.
