Cyber risk management services we offer
Andersen structures cybersecurity risk management to identify cybersecurity risks around business assets, potential threats, compliance duties, and measurable residual risk reduction.
Andersen maps assets, threats and vulnerabilities, business impact, and likelihood to produce a quantified risk assessment. The output is a ranked risk register that supports risk management decisions, budget planning, and faster executive approval.
Deliverables:
- Asset inventory and risk identification across critical workloads;
- Likelihood, impact, and exposure scoring for potential risks;
- Board-ready risk analysis with remediation priorities.
Our consultants map security controls to regulatory requirements, audit evidence, and risk compliance expectations. Clients receive a practical compliance roadmap that reduces repeat findings and keeps cybersecurity risk management aligned with external scrutiny.
Compliance scope:
- Gap analysis against ISO/IEC 27001, NIST, SOC 2, and PCI DSS;
- Evidence mapping for auditors and internal control owners;
- Remediation planning for findings that increase information security risks.
Andersen builds governance routines, escalation rules, and reporting paths that connect risk management and security with operational ownership. The result is a practical risk management framework embedded in day-to-day decision-making.
GRC outcomes:
- Defined risk owners, review cycles, and approval thresholds;
- Risk management software selection or configuration support;
- Executive dashboards for senior executives and control owners.
We assess third-party access, supplier controls, contractual obligations, and data flows across the supply chain. Organizations gain stronger vendor visibility, fewer blind spots, and clearer mitigation measures for suppliers that touch sensitive data.
Supplier risk coverage:
- Vendor tiering based on data access and operational criticality;
- Control questionnaires and evidence review for high-risk suppliers;
- Risk responses for onboarding, renewal, and exception handling.
Andersen evaluates identity stores, privileged roles, access approval flows, and authentication controls. The service reduces account misuse, limits lateral movement, and supports cybersecurity risk mitigation through least-privilege access.
Identity improvements:
- Access review routines for employees, contractors, and vendors;
- Privileged access management recommendations;
- MFA, role design, and joiner-mover-leaver process improvements.
Our team links operational risk, natural disasters, cyber incidents, and recovery objectives in one continuity model. Clients receive tested contingency plans that reduce downtime and clarify crisis roles before disruption occurs.
Continuity planning includes:
- Business impact analysis for critical services and dependencies;
- Recovery time and recovery point objective definition;
- Tabletop exercises for incident response and restoration.
Andersen reviews control maturity, loss scenarios, incident history, and documentation before purchasing cyber insurance. The outcome is a smoother insurance application process, stronger supporting evidence, and a clearer view of transferable residual risk.
Readiness work covers:
- Control evidence requested by carriers;
- Risk transfer options for high-impact scenarios;
- Documentation gaps that can affect cyber insurance coverage.
We classify data, review processing flows, and strengthen safeguards for personal, financial, and regulated records. Clients improve data security, strengthen data protection, reduce misuse risk, and lower the likelihood of data breaches and data theft.
Protection focus:
- Sensitive data discovery and processing flow mapping;
- Encryption, retention, backup, and access control review;
- Privacy-by-design controls for new and existing IT systems.
Andersen evaluates AI use cases, model access, training data, vendor dependencies, and misuse scenarios. Enterprises adopt AI with clearer guardrails, stronger information risk management, and fewer exposures from emerging risks.
AI risk scope:
- AI use case inventory and control mapping;
- Data leakage, prompt misuse, and model abuse scenarios;
- Governance rules for responsible system development life cycle decisions.
Andersen cyber risk management solutions turn risk data into a prioritized remediation roadmap.
Cyber risk management frameworks and standards we work with
Our cybersecurity risk management approach is aligned with leading industry frameworks and standards, enabling organizations to establish effective controls, manage cyber risks, and strengthen security governance.
Benefits of cyber risk management
Cybersecurity risk management helps teams prioritize risk factors, clarify risk posture, reduce exposure, and make security spend easier to defend.
Stronger cyber resilience
Andersen cybersecurity risk management approach connects preventive controls, recovery planning, and executive risk tolerance to help organizations strengthen the security posture, improve threat visibility, and define a mitigation strategy for critical assets.
Faster risk response
A structured cybersecurity risk management process gives teams escalation criteria, risk responses, and reporting routines. Security leaders can mitigate risk faster, coordinate IT, legal, compliance, and operations, and improve containment planning for phishing attacks and ransomware.
Smarter security investment decisions
Cybersecurity risk management translates technical exposure into financial, operational, and compliance impact. Leaders can connect risk scoring to business cost, document acceptance or remediation, and fund controls that reduce the most material risk.
Cyber risks we help manage
Andersen applies cybersecurity risk management practices to identify threats, assess exposure, and reduce business risk across people, vendors, and regulated data flows.
Andersen assesses cloud identity, configuration, logging, segmentation, and shared responsibility gaps. Clients reduce misconfiguration exposure and gain a more accurate view of risk across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and hybrid platforms.
Typical controls:
- Cloud posture assessment and guardrail review;
- Access, encryption, and backup validation;
- Continuous monitoring for drift and policy exceptions.
Andersen reviews identity governance, privileged roles, and authentication paths to limit account takeover and excessive access. The business gains better control over who can reach critical assets and data.
Risk reduction work:
- Review access approval, recertification, and removal routines;
- Map privileged permissions to business ownership;
- Reduce excessive access through governance, least-privilege controls, and continuous access reviews.
We evaluate supplier access, contract obligations, cyber security evidence, and concentration risk. Organizations get stronger third-party oversight and fewer unknown dependencies in the threat landscape.
Supplier oversight:
- Benchmark private sector supplier controls against business criticality;
- Track exceptions for partners supporting critical infrastructure;
- Apply a cyber risk management approach to onboarding and renewals.
Our consultants classify regulated information, map processing flows, and review safeguards that protect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The outcome is stronger information security and lower exposure to data breaches.

FAQ
Cybersecurity risk management is the structured practice of identifying, analyzing, prioritizing, treating, and monitoring risks that can affect digital systems, data, operations, and reputation. It connects security controls with business priorities so leaders know which exposures to reduce, transfer, accept, or monitor. Risk management in cyber security becomes useful when every risk has an owner, treatment decision, and review date.
