Risk Assessment

A risk assessment is used to identify areas of potential threats and vulnerabilities as well as to develop and implement appropriate security countermeasures that are robust and cost-effective. The key is to consider the specific vulnerabilities in any given situation.

The risk assessment process includes the gathering of information about the assets of an organization, such as networks and personnel as well as the facility itself, or important aspects of an individual's lifestyle, including information and physical assets.

At Cerberus Security Services, a risk assessment is a crucial first step in creating and implementing a holistic security program. This program has three integral concepts:

	protection
	detection
	reaction

Since absolute protection is unrealistic, the security measures put in place are intended to minimize potential risks that were determined by the risk assessment. A security program that does not incorporate the three concepts of a holistic program is an incomplete one.

A risk assessment forms the foundation for all the services provided by Cerberus.

The workplace can be an unpredictable, even volatile environment in a business world that is constantly changing.
