Our Approach
STN IT Risk Assessment
The STN Risk Assessment is a true Residual Risk Assessment which informs our clients of the amount of risk or danger associated with a threat remaining after inherent risks have been reduced by risk controls.
Our IT Risk Assessment produces practical and actionable recommendations to reduce the greatest risks to your sensitive data and systems.
STN starts by defining the key concepts and information flows of your organization. Once this is completed, a comprehensive list of threats and vulnerability pairs are created and an initial risk assessment is conducted across four probability groups. This allows STN to develop control recommendations for each of threat-vulnerability pairs and reduce the impact of the threat on your organization. Finally, STN creates a true Residual Risk Assessment which informs you of the amount of risk or danger associated with a threat remaining after inherent risks have been reduced by risk controls.

Cybersecurity Portal
As an integral part of every solution, we developed the Cybersecurity Portal. It offers a secure repository and information resource with a dashboard for customers to track all projects, security assessments, and service tickets. The Cybersecurity Portal provides a single point for our clients to access security-related documentation and assets.
Through the Cybersecurity Portal, each client gets access to:
- Secure document sharing
- Escalation procedures and management
- Trouble ticket tracking and status
- Network diagrams
- Firewall rules management
- Support contracts

DON’T FORGET
IT Security Gap Assessment
Our IT Gap Assessments follow a similar approach as the Risk Assessment.
We can provide a deeper technical, physical, and administrative analysis of your technical environment and the potentials for gaps in your security as they relate to FFIEC, HIPAA, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 27702, FERC, and NIST frameworks.
