Organizations, regardless of size, face ever-increasing information technology and data security threats. Everything from physical sites to data, applications, networks and systems are under attack. Worse, neither an organization nor its managers need to prove prominent or controversial to prove a target.

A security risk assessment should be performed annually, if not quarterly. Consider using a checklist — such as the xlsx file from TechRepublic Premium — to not only coordinate security risk assessments but also to document these reviews as they are completed.

From the download:

Begin security risk assessments by listing all areas in which your organization operates and possesses important elements, including its physical office facilities, client computers, servers, applications, data and behaviors. Then, rank the importance of each of those elements as to their value to your organization’s ongoing operations.

The download comprises a four-page PDF and an Excel spreadsheet.
