Ā RISK ASSESSMENTS
Risk Assessment and Risk Management are vital tools in providing relevant and effective security activities. Until you know where your threats are coming from and what vulnerabilities or weaknesses exist, you will not know where to apply controls.
The process of conducting a risk assessment and the implementation of controls, (which bring highlighted risks down to acceptable levels), must follow within effective monitoring. This and the management of the controls will ensure new threats, as well as changes within the environment/effectiveness of the existing controls, do not impact the overall risk.
LRQA Nettitude will help you make sense of all this information in practical workshops and training sessions. We will help you to implement an effective and relevant risk methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions about Data Privacy Security
What is an incident response policy?
An Incident response plan or policy is a process you create before you experience a cyberattack. This is so that your team has a procedure to follow when you do experience a data breach. LRQA Nettitude follows the CREST Cybersecurity Incident Response process which is broken down into 3 phases: preparation, response, and follow up. Having a breach plan gives you the confidence to quickly nullify any threat to your data privacy security.
Why is data privacy security important?
Although it has always been important, the implications and need for higher security are coming into play now that technology is indispensable to everyday life. Using apps, browsing websites, and shopping online are all examples of how your data will be stored and managed online. For organisations today, the threat of cyber theft is a pertinent one. Having comprehensive data privacy plans in place can reduce and mitigate the risks of such events.
Does LRQA Nettitude practice sustainability?
As a company with a global footprint, sustainability is an area of importance to us. We are a registered āInvestor in Peopleā organisation. Taking a cue from ISO 14001, we have strong sustainability practices put in place. Our organisation also hires fairly and equally, across gender and race.
