Threat and Risk Assessment Consultants
The Role of a Security Assessment Company
A security policy audit company assesses, identifies, and implements essential security controls. Threat assessment consultants also focus on preventing vulnerabilities and application security defects.
A risk assessment specialist will help your organization view the application portfolio from an attacker’s perspective. Threat assessments are an integral part of a business’s risk management process in that they allow managers to:
- Make security control implementation decisions.
- Establish informed resource allocation.
- Form appropriate tooling strategies.

Steps of a Successful Threat and Risk Assessment Model
Adequate security assessment services embrace the following steps:
1. Identification: Identify all critical assets that are integral to the organization or business. Once the essential individual components have been identified a risk profile will be created for each.
2. Assessment: Identify and prioritize security risks for each asset and determine how to allocate resources toward risk mitigation effectively.
3. Mitigation: Define a mitigation approach and enforce strict security controls for each risk.
4. Prevention: Implement processes to minimize the possibility of threats occurring in your firm’s resources.

Assets in Need of Protection
Assets in need of protection and physical security survey services include individuals, facilities, equipment, information, technology, exclusive venues, money, jewelry, and other high-value items. At Silverseal, we recommend undergoing risk assessment consulting if you manage an organization that stores, creates, or transmits confidential data. These assessments should take place bi-annually or annually, or at the point of any major update.
Threat and risk assessments are required by several standards, regulations, and laws. Threat assessment consulting can help your company comply with a unified set of security controls implemented by governing bodies such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or PCI-DSS, and the Health Insurance and Accountability Act, or HIPAA. Such governing bodies outline a unified set of security controls to weigh the overall security posture of businesses.
