Risk Management & Information Classification

Systematic risk analysis and information classification tailored to your business.

About the service

Effective information security starts with understanding your risks. Without systematic risk management, decisions are made blindly — resources are misallocated and the real threats remain unaddressed.

Risk management is the foundation of all information security work. It is through risk assessments that you identify which threats are relevant to your specific business, evaluate likelihood and impact, and make well-informed decisions about which measures are needed.

Information classification complements risk management by giving you a clear picture of which information is most worthy of protection. When you know what is critical, you can direct resources appropriately and avoid applying equal protection to everything.

We help you establish a risk management process that provides management with decision-support material and gives the organisation a clear direction for its security efforts. Our risk assessments are not academic exercises — they result in concrete measures with clear responsibilities and timelines.

Benefits

Why Risk Management with Verit

01

Risk-based decisions

Prioritise security efforts based on actual risk exposure, not gut feeling. You receive clear decision-support material showing where the risks lie, how severe they are, and which measures deliver the greatest impact.

02

Regulatory compliance

Risk management is a cornerstone of NIS2, ISO 27001, and GDPR. Our methodology meets the requirements of all three frameworks and produces documentation that holds up under audit and supervision.

03

Resource optimisation

Invest in security measures where they deliver the greatest value. Through systematic risk assessment you avoid over-dimensioning protection in the wrong places and under-dimensioning it where it is truly needed.

Frequently asked questions

Questions & answers

What methodology do you use for risk analysis?
We use a methodology based on ISO 27005 and ISO 31000, adapted for information security. The methodology is sufficiently rigorous to meet regulatory requirements yet sufficiently pragmatic to deliver practical results.
How often should a risk analysis be updated?
The risk analysis should be reassessed at least annually, but also in response to significant changes in the business, IT environment, or threat landscape. With Securapilot you can make ongoing updates instead of large point-in-time efforts.
What is information classification?
Information classification means categorising your information according to how sensitive it is. Common levels are public, internal, confidential, and strictly confidential. The classification determines which protective measures are required for each information type.
