Security Risk Assessment and Audit(SRAA)

SRAA helps us detect and mitigate security risks, safeguarding our information assets and ensuring business continuity.

Introduction to SRAA

SRAA (Security Risk Assessment and Audit) is an ongoing information security audit process aimed at identifying and verifying security incidents. It aims to comprehensively identify, analyze, and evaluate potential security risks in information infrastructure, determine risk levels, and propose mitigation or recovery measures. Its core objective is to enhance the organization's network security protection capabilities through continuous risk management and compliance to prevent cyber threats.
SRA (Security Risk Assessment) and SA (Security Audit) services can be conducted independently, but security audits must be carried out after the security risk assessment process.



Recommended Scenarios for Implementing SRAA

Government Agencies and Critical Infrastructure

Financial, healthcare, energy, education, and other industries related to government departments.

Government Funding Agencies (IGO/IPO)

Involves new system deployment or major upgrades.

Any Organization Concerned with Information Security

Private enterprises, medical companies, technology companies, etc.



Why is SRAA Needed?

Compliance Requirements

Verify whether the information security measures of the department or system comply with the policies and specific standard requirements of the Hong Kong Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD), to reduce the risk of legal penalties or reputational damage.

Risk Identification and Management

Comprehensively identify potential information security risks and vulnerabilities within the department or system. Based on professional recommendations and measures, strengthen the security of internal information systems to ensure smooth business operations.

Continuous Improvement

By regularly conducting SRAA, continuously discover new risks and take timely measures to improve them. This mechanism of continuous improvement helps maintain and enhance the organization's information security level.



Differences Between SRA and SA

Security Risk Assessment

Identifies threats and vulnerabilities, assesses the level of risk involved, and determines acceptable risk levels and corresponding risk mitigation strategies.

Starts from a risk perspective, and the scope of assessment is not necessarily related to security policies and standards.

Can be conducted by the decision-making body/department for self-assessment or entrusted to an independent third party.

Security Audit

Determines the effective implementation of security measures required by the department's information technology security policies, standards, and other agreements, or by legal requirements.

Starts from a compliance perspective, and the assessment is based on security policies, standards, or other predefined rules.

Must be conducted by an independent third party.
