Introduction

The Inform phase is the foundation of our risk management process. Just as a blueprint provides a roadmap for building a structure, the Inform phase gives you a clear understanding of your digital environment. We focus on obtaining a comprehensive view of your systems, applications, and data flow to reveal any hidden risks or vulnerabilities. This clarity is critical for effective decision-making and resource allocation as we move forward.

‍

The Role of the Security Assessment Plan (SAP):‍

At the heart of the Inform phase is the Security Assessment Plan (SAP). Think of the SAP as a personalized guide tailored to your specific business environment. Rather than performing a complete assessment for you, the SAP provides a clear, step-by-step process that empowers you to inspect and evaluate your own system effectively. It outlines:

Where to Focus: The SAP helps you identify high-priority areas within your system that could be at risk.
How to Check: It includes guidance on what to look for within these areas, such as potential weaknesses in data flow or access points.
Evaluation Criteria: The SAP provides standards for evaluating each component, making it easier to gauge whether your current setup meets security best practices.

By the end of the Inform phase, you’ll have a comprehensive view of your system’s landscape and potential vulnerabilities, empowering you to make informed decisions. This visibility is the first step in building a strong defense.

Key Benefits:

Enhanced Visibility: Gain a clear view of your entire digital environment.
Structured Inspection: Use the SAP to systematically check each part of your system.
Informed Decision-Making: Identify high-priority areas and potential vulnerabilities for effective action.
