Archer Risk Management



From the publisher website or publicity

Perform online risk assessments to determine the proper controls to implement on specific assets based on their use and risk to the enterprise.

Business Need

Risk management is a key element of virtually all security management guidelines as defined in recent legislation, government programs and the emerging standards for information security. Whether you are in a regulated industry, a government agency or simply an organization seeking to benchmark against widely accepted best practices, you will need to conduct regular, recurring information risk assessments as part of your security management program. Because risk assessment methodologies are often viewed as complex and cumbersome, many organizations have relied on external firms to perform these activities on a contract basis. Unfortunately, it can be expensive to engage a third-party assessment team, and more importantly, it is unlikely they will understand your business well enough to yield a meaningful result. An organization will often realize greater business value by building an ongoing risk assessment capability in-house.

Archer's Solution

The Archer Risk Management solution facilitates the risk assessment process, enabling you to quickly determine the proper controls to implement on specific assets based on their use and risk to the enterprise. Tightly linked with the Archer Asset Management solution, Archer Risk Assessment leverages the knowledge housed in the Asset Management database to generate online risk assessment questionnaires, asset risk scorecards and actionable plans for managing your enterprise information risk. This solution allows you to perform meaningful business risk assessments using in-house resources and knowledge that will meet regulatory or standards-based requirements while reducing your dependence on outside assessment vendors.
