Engaging in an information security assessment, or IT Security assessment, is critical to protecting the integrity and security of an organization’s data assets. Conducting IT security assessments provides a myriad of benefits, including:
-
Identifying vulnerabilities
IT Security Assessments pinpoint an organization's weaknesses and deficiencies in their information systems and networks. Assessment results can assist in prioritizing security initiatives and allocating resources more effectively. -
