Cybersecurity and Data Protection Risk Assessment
Identify and prioritise security and data protection risks across digital products, systems, and business operations. The assessment delivers a unified risk register covering both cybersecurity controls and privacy compliance, with threat modelling, control mapping, and a remediation roadmap aligned with ISO 27001, GDPR, and NIS 2. Available as a one-time project or recurring managed service.
Cybersecurity and Data Protection Risk Assessment is a structured service that identifies, evaluates, and prioritises security and privacy threats across digital products, core systems, and business operations. It combines cybersecurity risk analysis with data protection impact evaluation in a single engagement, helping organisations understand where technical and organisational weaknesses may affect operations, customer trust, or regulatory standing. The service aligns with requirements under ISO 27001, GDPR Articles 24, 25 and 32, and the NIS 2 Directive. Assessments can be delivered as a one-time project for a specific system or product, or as a recurring engagement on a quarterly or semi-annual cadence for organisations that require continuous risk visibility.
What are the results of this service?
The assessment produces a unified risk profile covering both cybersecurity and data protection dimensions. On the security side, it includes threat modelling, likelihood-impact analysis, review of existing technical controls, and identification of vulnerabilities aligned with ISO 27001 Annex A and NIS 2 requirements. On the data protection side, it evaluates legal bases for processing, data subject impact analysis, effectiveness of privacy controls, and DPIA readiness under GDPR Article 35. Deliverables include a documented risk register with severity scoring, mapped controls aligned with relevant frameworks, a prioritised remediation plan with owners and timelines, and trend analysis for recurring engagements. For recurring engagements, each assessment cycle updates the risk register with newly identified threats, tracks remediation progress from previous cycles, and adjusts risk ratings based on changes in the threat landscape. The documentation supports internal governance, external audits, leadership reporting, and client assurance processes.
