Risk Analysis and Threat Modeling

Risk is the likelihood of an adverse event combined with the damage that event would create. When your IT systems contain your most sensitive information, the potential impact is enormous. A breach involving financial records, intellectual property, competitive plans, and other information could result in devastating personal and business losses.

NetSPI interviews people in the core positions of your organization, and we look at your infrastructure and operations, in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the technical, administrative, and physical risk factors you face.

NetSPI looks at a piece of software to define a set of attacks that could be made against it. Having a threat model enables us to assess the probability, the potential harm, and the priority of attacks, and how those attacks can be parried or minimized. Threat modeling is an integral part of the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) process.

We also review your information-related processes and controls for possible security issues. Using information on your competitive position, critical processes, and business needs, we create a unique business risk matrix for your company. Once we identify the risks, we create a long-term strategy for your security and success.

In recent years, federal and state legislation has been enacted that requires organizations to oversee service providers by taking reasonable steps to select and retain organizations with the ability to maintain appropriate safeguards for confidential information. NetSPI helps clients comply with these requirements with assessments that include a review of the administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that are in place to protect your customer information when it is in the hands of third parties. Whether you want to expand upon an existing framework such as BITS or HITRUST, or you are in need of a customized program to fit your unique needs, NetSPI has proven experience in building third-party programs that assist our clients in managing third-party relationships.
