Information Security Risk Assessment
Identify, minimise & manage the threats to your business’ information assets with a security risk assessment
Stay Ahead of Cyber Risk with Continuous Assessment
An information security risk assessment identifies, evaluates, and mitigates threats to your critical data assets. Risk Crew provides independent, ISO 27001-aligned assessments to uncover vulnerabilities, establish risk appetite, and deliver prioritised remediation plans.
What Is an Information Security Risk Assessment?
An information security risk assessment evaluates the threats and vulnerabilities affecting your organisation’s data, systems, and hardware. It determines the likelihood of exploitation and the potential impact on your business, allowing you to deploy targeted security controls.
Without regular assessments, security teams operate with hidden operational blind spots. Risk Crew’s methodology establishes clear visibility over your risk profile while maintaining compliance with UK security standards.

Risk Crew’s Proven 6-Step Risk Assessment Methodology
Risk Crew uses a structured 6-step information security risk assessment framework aligned with ISO 27001 and PCI DSS standards.
We interview key business stakeholders to identify critical information assets, system dependencies, and data flows. Assets are catalogued in an Information Asset Register and categorised by business value.
Our consultants evaluate your hosting environments and processing activities to map active threat actors, vector channels, and operational scenarios capable of compromising asset confidentiality, integrity, or availability.
We conduct technical vulnerability scanning and administrative controls reviews across networks, applications, third-party services, and patch management processes to uncover exploitable weaknesses.
We calculate the frequency of potential exploitation alongside the financial, operational, and legal impact on your business should a threat successfully breach your controls.
Risk levels are documented in their untreated state (inherent risk) by measuring threat likelihood against severity of impact across the CIA triad.
We produce a practical Risk Treatment Plan (RTP) containing cost-effective security controls designed to reduce inherent risk down to acceptable business levels.

FAQs
Inherent risk is the raw level of risk present before any security controls or countermeasures are applied. Residual risk is the remaining risk level after security controls have been implemented to reduce threat likelihood or impact.
An information security risk assessment should be conducted at least annually. Additional assessments are required whenever significant operational changes occur, such as system migrations, cloud integration, major infrastructure updates, or following a security incident.
An information security risk assessment satisfies ISO 27001 Clause 6.1.2 requirements. It defines how an organisation identifies, measures, and treats information security risks, directly shaping the Statement of Applicability (SoA) and Risk Treatment Plan.
An information asset register is a centralised inventory documenting an organisation’s critical data, systems, and hardware. It details asset ownership, physical or cloud locations, sensitivity classifications, and business value to guide risk management activities.
