Application Portfolio Risk Rating

Balancing security risk across critical parameters… Quantitatively

How well do you understand the risk profile of your entire application portfolio? Security Innovation experts will identify and prioritize high-risk applications based on business impact, security threats, compliance requirements, and overall operational risk.

To align the security budget and resource allocations with the criticality of applications.

Don’t miss critical risks or expend resources securing the wrong applications.

Many organizations struggle with insight into which applications are putting their most critical data and technology assets at risk. Often many non-critical applications may require only an automated scan vs. a deep security assessment. This engagement is designed to remove the guesswork.

Define Data Criticality

Data classification-generally tied to sensitivity, compliance or legal -reflects the level of impact to your organization if any major area of security is compromised. The classification includes factors such as compliance mandates, federal laws, and internal standards. This feeds the enterprise threat model and allows classification of your applications based upon what level of data it processes, stores or transmits.
Measure Application Attack Exposure

What’s the relative attack risk each application carries? Some applications have very little exposure, while others are exposed to large numbers of users over the Internet. Some are connected to other enterprise systems, databases or web services, while others are more isolated and harder to access. Security Innovation experts guide definition against a multitude of considerations.
Prioritize Your Resources

For each application, we consider the combination of the criticality of data stored, transmitted or processed plus the attack exposure to risk-rank your portfolio. There is no standard formula for this, as risk tolerance and data mapping is contextual to each organization. For each application risk tier, Security Innovation creates a recommended testing frequency and depth chart so you can apply resources intelligently in the future.
