In today's digital world, companies must guard against cyber threats and meet various compliance requirements. It is among the duties of a CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) to identify risks and take effective measures to ensure the security of network and information systems. This is where the Compliance Infographics Tool in RiskStudio comes in handy. This blog discusses the need for risk identification and how the Compliance Infographics Tool can help with this.

The need for risk inventory

Risk inventory is the foundation of an effective security policy. By identifying and analyzing risks, organizations can take appropriate measures to protect their network and information systems. According to the NIS2 Directive, organizations must fulfill a duty of care that requires them to conduct their own risk analysis and take appropriate and proportionate measures based on that analysis.

Important aspects of risk assessment are:

• Identification of vulnerabilities: Discovering weaknesses in systems that can be exploited by malicious parties.
• Impact evaluation: Assessing the potential impact of a security incident on the organization.
• Determination of likelihood: Estimating the probability that a particular risk will occur.

The importance of measures (controls)

Based on the risk analysis, organizations must implement appropriate measures, also called controls, to mitigate the identified risks. Controls are specific actions, processes or mechanisms implemented to manage risks and minimize the likelihood of harm. These controls can range from technical solutions to organizational processes.
