A risk assessment is an important step in protecting your workers and your business, as well as complying with the law. It helps you focus on the risks that really matter in your workplace – the ones with the potential to cause real harm. In many instances, straightforward measures can readily control risks, for example ensuring spillages are cleaned up promptly so people do not slip, or cupboard drawers are kept closed to ensure people do not trip. For most, that means simple, cheap and effective measures to ensure your assets and your workforce are protected.

Risk Assessment is a methodology widely used for Security Audits (Gap Analysis) to ensure that Business Continuity remains despite certain vulnerabilities in the organization.

It means that an outside organization is going to conduct a formal written examination of one or more crucial components of the organization.

A critical, on-site examination and analysis of an industrial plant, business, home, or public or private institution to ascertain the present security status to identify deficiencies or excesses, to determine the protection needed, and to make recommendations to improve the overall security is the gist of any security survey and audit.
