The Risk Assessment

WHY A RISK ASSESSMENT?

With increasing certainty, corporate and government auditors are implementing requirements or expecting that organizations including banks, other financial institutions, universities and hospitals will conduct security risk assessments on a regular basis. However, many organizations that do perform what they perceive as 'risk assessment' currently utilize an outdated list of physical security threats stored within an Excel spreadsheet that is managed and analyzed manually. This traditional, time consuming approach is only a vulnerability assessment, and not a true risk assessment that includes the specific controls and safeguards needed to eliminate security threats, a cost benefit analysis of the associated financial data, and a projected Return on Investment (ROI) based on implementation of the selected security controls. If your department or staff is responsible for satisfying regulators, providing value added physical security data internally and ultimately protecting EVERYONE at a physical location from harm and security threats, then automated risk assessment is the tool of choice.

WHAT A RISK ASSESSMENT CAN DO FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION

Gordon Security Solutions (GSS) offers comprehensive risk assessment, an affordable and easy- to-use software tool that automates the surveying, data collection, analysis and reporting for physical security threat assessments and the management of these security risks. Basically, risk assessment is a process used to identify what controls are needed to protect your critical or sensitive assets adequately as well as cost effectively. Our risk assessment software determines and quantifies risk by analyzing the relationships between: assets value, potential threats to these assets, the vulnerabilities that would allow the threats to occur, the types of losses that the threats could cause, and then most critically, safeguards that would reduce loss or eliminate threats. The true value of GSS risk assessment is that our automated tool cuts down your organization's risk analysis time commitment by 70% when compared with a manual, spreadsheet-driven analysis. Additionally, users of our risk assessment product have the flexibility to conduct risk analysis within an organization in a variety of ways: vulnerability assessment only, risk assessment only, vulnerability and risk assessment combined, with or without financial data, and with or without ROI data.

JUSTIFYING THE COST OF A RISK ASSESSMENT SOFTWARE

The cost benefit of purchasing GSS risk assessment software becomes startlingly clear when confronted with the proposition of a manual risk analysis using in-house employees and simple spreadsheets. While the manual risk assessment can take from 10 to 15 weeks to complete and cost many thousands of dollars in lost productivity man hours, our automated risk assessment should only require about two weeks, resulting in tremendous man hour cost savings. Beyond cost effectiveness, a critical feature of our automated risk assessment tool is the ability to quantify your organization's risk and provide ROI metrics based on your selected controls once the risk assessment is complete. Through the risk assessment reporting function, users can generate an easy-to-understand graph that ranks and recommends security controls by projected ROI. Another graph measures ROI by illustrating how implementing the top 20 controls will lead to a cumulative loss reduction; this same graph also displays projected loss reduction for each single safeguard on its own. For a more detailed explanation of the comprehensive ROI analysis generated by our risk assessment software, please Contact Us for a personal demonstration of how you will personally justify your costs.


ELIMINATE RISK WITH GORDON SECURITY SOLUTIONS

In our current environment of challenging local, state and national security issues, risk management requirements will continue to increase and demand more standardization. Without a doubt, measuring and managing your organization's physical security by Return on Investment is the ultimate expression of corporate accountability. And, conducting an automated risk assessment is the best way to meet your security requirements, quantify areas of weakness, justify which security controls to impliment first, and validate your security budget while monitoring its cost savings potential.
