Enterprise Risk Assessment
Holistic cybersecurity risk assessment aligned to ISO 31000 and NIST RMF.
Enterprise Risk Assessment
Intelliroot's Enterprise Risk Assessment provides a holistic view of your organisation's cybersecurity risk landscape, grounded in the ISO 31000 risk management principles and the NIST Risk Management Framework. Rather than a point-in-time vulnerability scan, this engagement systematically identifies, analyses, evaluates, and treats risks across people, processes, technology, and third-party relationships — producing a risk register and executive risk report that integrates seamlessly with your existing enterprise risk management programme.
Using the FAIR (Factor Analysis of Information Risk) model for cyber risk quantification, we translate technical risks into financial exposure estimates that resonate with boards, audit committees, and executive leadership. The outcome is not a technical report filed in a drawer — it is a living risk management instrument that drives prioritised investment decisions, supports regulatory submissions, and enables meaningful dialogue between the CISO and the board.
Why Enterprise Risk Assessment Is Essential
Prioritise Security Investment
Without a structured risk assessment, security budgets are allocated to the loudest voices rather than the highest risks. Enterprise risk assessment ensures every rupee of security spend is justified by evidence.
Satisfy Regulatory Requirements
ISO 27001, RBI Master Directions, SEBI CSCRF, and CERT-In guidelines all require a formal risk assessment. Intelliroot's CERT-In empanelled, CREST-certified team produces reports accepted by all major Indian regulators.
Quantify Risk in Financial Terms
The FAIR model converts technical risk ratings into loss exposure ranges (expected annual loss, value at risk) that allow boards to make informed decisions about risk appetite and cyber insurance coverage.
Align Security with Business Strategy
Risk assessment scoped to business objectives — not just IT assets — ensures that critical business processes and their enabling systems receive proportionate protection.

Our Risk Assessment Approach
Context Establishment
Define the internal and external context: business objectives, organisational structure, regulatory obligations, existing risk management processes, and stakeholder risk appetite. Agree on risk assessment scope, criteria, and methodology.
Asset & Process Inventory
Catalogue information assets, critical business processes, supporting technology, and key third-party dependencies. Classify assets by confidentiality, integrity, and availability requirements.
Threat & Vulnerability Identification
Identify applicable threats (cyber threat intelligence-informed) and map them to assets and processes. Assess existing controls and identify gaps using ISO 27001 Annex A and NIST CSF as reference frameworks.
Risk Analysis & Quantification
Apply qualitative risk scoring for the full risk population and FAIR quantification for the top-tier risks. Calculate inherent risk, control effectiveness, and residual risk for each risk scenario.
Risk Register & Treatment Planning
Compile the risk register with ownership, ratings, treatment decisions, and control roadmap. Facilitate risk appetite sign-off and residual risk acceptance with senior management.
