What’s Security Vulnerability Assessment?
Security vulnerability assessment is a process in which a business or its
specific operation is physically examined to identify vulnerabilities in
protection that could provide opportunities for crime.
When can the Security Vulnerability Assessment (SVA) process be
conducted?
1. The SVA process is applicable in isolation when a business deems it fit
to review inherent vulnerabilities against existing baseline security systems
with the aim to make improvements and match security systems to
anticipated risk level. This tends to be done often when there is a new
business operation or area of concern.
2. The SVA process is also applicable as an integral component of the
security risk assessment (SRA) process. The SRA then determines the
extent to which the baseline standards should be built upon.
