What Is Risk Assessment, and Why Does Evertas Offer It?

Risk assessment is one of many professional services Evertas offers, and it’s a valuable tool we use with our clients to identify potential issues before they create real problems.

Risk Assessment helps our clients understand their cyber and operational risk landscape.

Every organization has a specific expertise and focus. When it comes to the pitfalls that can affect (or cripple) everyday operations, some are easily visible to the internal team. That said, we have not yet worked with an organization that has been able to detect and address every single risk, as many fall well outside of their experience.

Evertas’ snapshot-in-time assessments of client organizations’ unique risk profiles help them make wise and effective security investments informed by our advice, reports, and documentation. The insight provided by our expertise and perspective allows these organizations’ leadership to improve business, empowered by reducing risk and increasing efficiency and security.

Evertas’ Risk Assessment Offerings

When engaged to provide risk assessment, Evertas begins with structured conversations with stakeholders spanning development, business, and support operations for a bottom-up review and assessment of policies and procedures. We follow with:

  • An evaluation of operations, business continuity, disaster recovery, authentication, and access control (and other key business areas)
  • An audit of common practices and procedures
  • A written report and executive-level presentation containing analysis of the current state
  • Specific recommendations for actions to take
  • And a proposed timeline for improvement.

Who would benefit from Evertas’ Risk Assessment service?

Our client base includes individuals and organizations who own, store, transport, or have cryptoassets in their care, custody, or control. This includes a vast spectrum of clients in crypto mining, the hardware and physical spaces that facilitate mining, investment managers, and more. Broadly speaking, if you’re reading this and hold responsibility for anything crypto-related, it would be worthwhile to speak to a team member about assessing your risks and making certain that you’re aware of all of them– and have a clear sense of how to proceed.
