Information Security Risk Management – Systematically Minimize Cyber Risks

Undetected cyber risks jeopardize your business continuity and adherence to compliance requirements. Without a systematic Information Security Risk Management (ISRM), critical vulnerabilities often remain undiscovered – until the worst comes to the worst. Oneconsult helps you to identify threats at an early stage, assess risks in a well-founded manner, and strengthen your information security through continuous improvement.

Information Security Risk Management (ISRM) as a Strategic Success Factor for Your Cyber Resilience

Information Security Risk Management (ISRM) is the foundation of any future-proof cybersecurity strategy. Regulatory requirements, such as NIS2 (EU Directive on measures for a high common level of cybersecurity), the DORA Regulation (Digital Operational Resilience Act), or the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), as well as increasing cyber threats or rising client expectations make an ISRM an indispensable success factor. Companies that proactively implement an ISRM can benefit on four levels:

  • Strengthening cyber resilience: threats and vulnerabilities can be identified and addressed at an early stage
  • Minimizing risks: financial damage, loss of reputation, and operational downtime can be avoided
  • Ensuring compliance: requirements deriving from laws and standards can be verifiably fulfilled
  • Creating trust: verified security provides competitive advantages

Your Benefits With the Information Security Risk Management by Oneconsult

Early Risk Warning – Prior to Vulnerabilities Becoming a Gateway

With Oneconsult’s support you will be able to identify technological, organizational, and process-related cyber risks at an early stage before they cause damage. Our proven risk analyses in accordance with ISO/IEC 27005 provide you with the confidence of not only being able to react, but also to plan ahead strategically.

Clear Basis for Decision-Making – No Risk Analysis Without Action

Risk assessments that simply end up in a drawer are of no use to anyone. That’s why we provide comprehensible risk matrices, prioritization logic, and clear criteria for risk acceptance or escalation. This enables specialist departments, management, and CISOs to make decisions together – transparently, reproducibly and audit-proof.

Being on Solid Ground in Regulatory Terms – Compliance Built In, Not Docked On

The ISRM by Oneconsult does not only meet the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001 but also integrates relevant regulations, such as NIS2, DORA, and GDPR, right from the beginning. Our methodology is designed to pass audits – with little effort, structured and systematically.

Adapted to Reality – Lean in Implementation, Clear in Focus

Many ISRM approaches fail when it comes to reality: too complex, too theoretical, too rigid. Our approach is modular, pragmatic, and precisely tailored to your organization. We only bring up what’s truly important for you and leave out anything that merely ties up resources.

Substantial Safety Strategy – Risk Management as a Control Instrument

A functioning ISRM does not only provide operational protection but also serves as a strategic tool. With our services, you are able to create a central control system for your security landscape: risks are made visible, responsibilities are clarified, resources are deployed in a targeted manner, and your security culture is strengthened in the long term.

Knowledge Stays Within the Company – Empowerment Instead of Dependency

We don’t just guide you through the process, we build up knowledge internally at your company. Through targeted training, ISRM workshops, and on-the-job coaching, we enable your teams to identify, assess, and address risks independently. This makes your company independent and resilient in the long term.

Our Information Security Risk Management Service at a Glance

An effective ISRM does not require to be a large-scale project. Oneconsult accompanies you step by step – no overhead, but clear results.

Step 1:
Stocktaking: Where Do You Stand at the Moment?

We support you in determining your current starting position and the ISRM’s target vision. In doing so, we create a basis for targeted and sustainable improvements: 

  • Identification of critical assets (information, data, systems, and processes)
  • Analysis of internal and external threats
  • Detection of technical and organizational weaknesses
  • Gathering of relevant compliance requirements (e.g., ISO/IEC 27001, 27005, NIS2)

Step 2:
Risk Assessment: What Are Critical Points?

A risk assessment does not have to be complicated. We help you to establish clear and pragmatic processes: 

  • Identification of real risks that could actually affect your company
  • Analysis of risks according to applicable criteria
  • Assessment of risks based on clear metrics and guidelines
  • Clear workflows for quick decisions
  • Prioritization of the most significant risks with the greatest need for action

Step 3:
Action Planning: How Do We Act Effectively?

Identified risks require targeted countermeasures. Together with you, we develop tailor-made solutions – whether by avoiding, reducing, transferring, or consciously accepting the risks:

  • Technical measures: system hardening, vulnerability management with prioritized patch cycles, network segmentation for critical areas
  • Organizational measures: emergency plans with clear escalation paths, security awareness training
  • Strategic measures: development of a company-specific security strategy

Step 4:
Implementation and Execution: Who's Doing What?

A successful and sustainable ISRM depends on the cooperation of all those involved – from the CISO to the asset owner. We help to ensure that everyone knows their role and has the right tools at their fingertips.

  • Workshops and trainings: practical ISRM workshops for all stakeholders as well as training on risk assessment and elimination
  • Governance framework: creation of a clear ISRM guideline with defined context, roles, and responsibilities
  • Technical implementation: selection and introduction of suitable GRC tools based on the size of the company

Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management: Security Beyond Your Company Boundaries

As digitalization progresses, an increasingly complex supplier ecosystem is developing in which numerous partners, suppliers, and service providers work closely together. The growing number of interfaces and communication channels increases the attack vector for potential cyberattacks.

The Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) identifies and deals with security risks posed by suppliers, service providers, or partners within the company. It is the logical extension of ISRM, as modern attacks are increasingly targeting weak points in the value chain. Without a C-SCRM, an ISRM remains incomplete.

Oneconsult supports you in setting up a C-SCRM and integrating it into an ISRM:

  • Risk identification:
    • Mapping of all critical suppliers and their accesses
    • Assessment of security practices in your supply chain
  • Implementation of measures:
    • Drafting of contractual security clauses for all partner
    • Security audits for high-risk suppliers
    • Contingency plans for supply chain attacks
  • Integration into an ISRM:
    • Integration of supply chain risks into your risk matrix

Start Now With an ISRM That Suits You

From risk identification and action planning to continuous improvement: we support you with tried-and-tested methods, industry-specific expertise, and a clear focus on effective implementation. Arrange a non-binding consultation now to find out how a structured ISRM can strengthen your cyber resilience.
