RISK ASSESSMENT - PSOS

The evaluation or study of risks is probably the most important phase in the risk and security management process, and yet perhaps the most difficult step, where the potential for error is highest.

PSOS executes physical, IT and fraud risk assessments and analyses for the public and private sectors.  A risk assessment consists of the following phases:

Gathering of information from the client’s systems:

* Meeting with the company’s management
