RISK ASSESSMENTS
When a plane crashes we all know that the impact is huge, human life will
be lost. We cannot control the impact but what we can control is the likelihood
that the incident would ever happen. Making sure the pilot has ample rest,
critical systems are checked and luggage scans are a few things Airlines
do to reduce this likelihood. Like an airplane your systems hold valuable
assets, information you can’t afford to have
compromised or lost.
Our Risk Assessment process will help you determine the impact versus
the likelihood

Remember it only takes one compromised system to create a breach.
We strongly recommend a complete risks assessment
for your business!
Risk Assessment Process
A through investigation of your business systems, critical applications and valuable digital assets to discover threats that could cause unexpected downtime, data loss and or allow an attacker to compromise your network, allowing them full access to your data and system resources. These organized crime units are interested in two things once they compromise your systems: (1) data they can steal to resell, this includes identity data or stored credit card data, and (2) your systems resources, using your systems to send spam, compromise other systems and host illegal images or videos.
Sklar Technology recommends that our clients have periodic risk assessments run to assure your network is secure at all times. This service is a key aspect of our Complete Data Protection Program service offering.
Digital
Asset Planning (DAP)
The Digital Asset Planning Process (DAP) was designed to provide a proactive review of business level issues involving the identification of important data, what types of threats exist, and how well guarded your systems are against down time, malicious activities and other relevant threats. DAP is a process that allows key stake holders in your organization to work with industry experts in understanding what threats are present in your IT environment and how you can take proactive steps to reduce these risks.
Risk Assessment 
By combining security scanning and a through technical review with the DAP process; our engineers are able to understand the bigger picture of where your technology may experience an interruption. While in the assessment process we uncover vulnerabilities that exist in the technology—flawed access controls, weaknesses in security architecture, and potentially unwanted malicious programs that may be giving outsiders access to your businesses information. Using the output of these two procedures, Sklar Technology is able to construct a roadmap to bring your environment up to best practices specifications.
Proactively addressing IT concerns
Using the roadmap we develop in step one, 80% of our findings could be addressed through configuration changes, patching, and the removal of unwanted programs. The remaining 20% is often addressed through technology changes and updates that either reduce risk or enhance functionality of your systems. Sklar Technology specializes in helping organizations determine where changes can be made that will protect your technology investment while giving you the security and functionality to effectively grow your business.
