A risk and vulnerability analysis is an assessment that considers threats and vulnerabilities that may affect information systems and data. This assessment analyzes the likelihood of threats exploiting vulnerabilities and the consequences the business faces if this were to happen. The aim is to be aware of the identified risks and implement relevant measures to reduce risk to an acceptable level.
A risk and vulnerability assessment can be carried out on a specific part of the business, and include technical assessments if necessary. Such an assessment can be used in connection with procurements, office relocations or travel-related risks, to name a few examples.
