TVRA - Threat risk assessment

A TRA is a process used to identify, assess, and remediate risk areas. The result of this process will be to, hopefully, harden the network and help prevent (or at least reduce) attacks.

The primary objective of a threat assessment is to identify potential security threats/risks/challenges which may impact your business operations and the safety of assets. The Threat Vulnerability Risk Assessment (TVRA) activities involve a comprehensive study of any green/brownfield project to identify critical assets, existing and emerging threats, gaps/vulnerabilities in the existing security setup/environment and evaluation of identified risks. The study provides a risk metric, which assists in formulating a robust security design by addressing identified threats and risks.

At Netrika Consulting, we have a professional team that undertakes the TVRA, after which we provide a detailed analysis report highlighting the gaps and recommendations for mitigation of identified risks. The recommendations also include technology-based solutions that may be deployed for risk mitigation.

Threat Risk Assessment

Threat and Risk Assessment provides a more thorough assessment of security risk than the standard assessments, such as studying threat statistics or conducting a facility walk-through. The analyst takes information and data from many methods and then combines these pieces, forming an extensive plan for sound security management, while also assessing a company’s compliance with industry practices and applicable laws.

Our TVRA consists of the following crucial steps:

• Asset Identification and Characterisation
• Threat Assessment
• Vulnerability Assessment
• Risk Evaluation
• Risk Treatment & Mitigation

We follow a TVRA framework based on an ‘Outside to Inside’ approach. We identify external threats by performing a PESTEL analysis and identifying internal risks by assessing the people, process, infrastructure, and technology of your organisation.
