Risk Assessment

Reduce your vulnerability to cyber threats and protect your growth opportunities by identifying, prioritizing and mitigating risks.

Your business is unique. It has specific operational challenges and growth opportunities—and risks that will surface as it changes and grows.: Colume Risk Assessment Services can help you get a handle on the risks that pose the biggest threat to your company’s ability to achieve its business goals. A strategic risk assessment offers a high-level view of your overarching risk profile while helping your company stay in compliance with key regulations, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) or the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Customized Security Programs: By prioritizing risks and implementing a strong foundation of policies, processes and controls, we help you develop a customized security program that meets the specific needs of your business. With Colume, your business can make risk mitigation and compliance a daily practice, rather than an annual struggle.

Industry Expertise: Colume experts are certified assessors who have years of experience in IT security and compliance management. Colume risk assessments are built on industry best practices outlined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), pulling from other key frameworks as needed.

Information Security Risk Assessment: An Information Security Risk Assessment helps your business take a risk-based approach to decision making. Our experts will identify threats and vulnerabilities to determine the likelihood and impact of risk events should they materialize. This makes it easier to prioritize the most cost-effective investments, helping your company stretch its budget while protecting its data from the most dangerous cyber-attacks.

Privacy Risk Assessment: A Privacy Risk Assessment helps you identify and assess risks that could leave your business’ personally identifiable information exposed. Our experts can gauge your overall risk-ranking, track how data moves through your company, and make recommendations to bolster any insufficient privacy and security practices.

HIPAA Risk Assessment: A HIPAA Risk Assessment will help you gain an accurate understanding of the unique threats, vulnerabilities and risks related to electronic protected health information.
