Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a risk assessment and a penetration test?
A risk assessment is a comprehensive analysis of all potential threats, vulnerabilities, and business impacts across your organization. A penetration test is a hands-on technical test that simulates real attacks to identify exploitable vulnerabilities. Risk assessments are broader and strategic; penetration tests are narrower and tactical. We recommend starting with a risk assessment, then conducting penetration tests on high-risk systems.
How often should we conduct risk assessments?
We recommend annual comprehensive risk assessments as a baseline. However, you should also conduct risk assessments when: (1) deploying new systems or technologies, (2) experiencing significant business changes (M&A, new products), (3) after security incidents, or (4) when compliance frameworks require it (CMMC requires annual reassessment).
What's included in the remediation roadmap?
Our remediation roadmaps include: (1) prioritized list of risks with specific remediation actions, (2) estimated cost and effort for each remediation, (3) recommended implementation timeline (quick wins in 30 days, medium-term in 90-180 days, strategic in 12-24 months), (4) technical implementation guidance, and (5) accountability assignments (who owns each risk).
Can you conduct a risk assessment remotely?
Yes. Most risk assessments can be conducted remotely through interviews, document review, and remote system access. We do recommend at least one on-site visit for comprehensive assessments to observe physical security, interview staff in person, and better understand your operations. For clients outside Minneapolis, we can travel or conduct fully remote assessments.
Will this disrupt our business operations?
Risk assessments are non-intrusive. We primarily conduct interviews, review documentation, and analyze configurations - we don't disrupt production systems. Staff interviews typically take 1-2 hours per person. The most time-intensive part is leadership interviews and document collection, which you can schedule around business needs.
