Why It's Important:
It is important that every organisation has a cyber risk management plan in place. A risk management strategy helps to inform decision-makers of the cyber risks associated with day to day operations or new ventures. A cyber risk assessment will assess and establish the likelihood of any cyber-attacks that the business is currently vulnerable to. Knowing the key threats to your business means that money and time are spent in the right places. This will help prevent the risks identified in your assessment
