Overview
Managing IT risk is part of running any business these days. Regardless of what business you’re in, understanding IT risk can help you increase network security, reduce management costs and achieve greater compliance. Corporate leaders who fail to identify, assess and mitigate IT risk are setting themselves up for serious security breaches and financial losses down the road.
Lynx helps Chief Risk Officers, Chief Information Security Officers, Chief Compliance Officers, Chief Information Officers, and their teams in highly regulated industries by filling expertise gaps and extending team resources with IT Risk Management services that can move at the speed of your business:
- Strategic IT Risk Management Programs
- Risk Appetite Profiling
- IT Risk Assessments
- Third-Party Vendor Risk Management
- Compliance (PCI, HIPAA, SOX, etc.) GAP Assessments
- Policies, Standards, and Procedures Development
You can only manage your risk and make smart, risk-based decisions if you can see the risks in your enterprise environment. With the complexity of mid to large enterprises, often times IT GRC projects fail due to the lack of regulatory compliance expertise and complicated implementation schedules.
Solutions
The challenges organizations face when it comes to IT risk include misinterpretation of policies and controls, lack of regulatory knowledge, manual and disparate processes and fragmented IT visibility. Information Technology departments looking to gain control and visibility of their compliance initiatives need solutions to help them understand regulatory requirements, define policy and compliance objectives and automate their audit workflow process to help them complete their audit assessments in a more efficient way. Today, organizations need an intelligent approach to gaining the upper hand when it comes to assessing IT risk and managing compliance. Lynx professional services and IT GRC platform provide IT organizations a holistic way to identify, assess, remediate and manage IT risk.
Strategic IT Risk Management Programs
Lynx consultants can help you create a program to effectively identify, assess, remediate and manage IT risk. This simple four-step framework enables IT organizations to take the lead in increasing network security, reducing management costs and achieving greater compliance by effectively assessing and classifying IT risk.
Risk Appetite Profiling
An organization’s risk appetite is the level of risk they are willing to accept and an understanding of the impact that risk may have on their business operations. Lynx experts can help an IT organization target and adhere to a risk profile based on their defined risk appetite.
IT Risk Assessments
A workflow tool that simplifies the process of collecting and asserting risk profile attributes. The workflow tool includes a survey feature that can be used to collect information from other participants.
Third-Party Vendor Risk Management
Organizations need a coordinated vendor risk management strategy that looks at vendor management in the context of business strategy, security, objectives and performance. Lynx can help develop a vendor risk management strategy that clearly understands security risk in the context of the business relationship and its value and objectives to the organization.

How We Work
The Lynx Application Security Assessment team utilizes a combination of automated and manual techniques to uncover vulnerabilities in your applications. Both proprietary and commercial assessment tools are used to identify all vulnerabilities. To ensure the accuracy and quality of results, we perform false positive validation on each and every finding.
If we identify security vulnerabilities, the team examines how an attacker could exploit the application vulnerabilities to create a security risk or breach for the organization.
We use both automated and manual techniques and leverage proprietary and commercial tools to speed the process of testing without sacrificing quality.
A final report includes a list of vulnerabilities and counter measures to secure at-risk applications, assets and resources. It also contains recommendations to ensure compliance with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
