Risk Management
In today’s digital world, information security is becoming an increasingly important issue for companies of all sizes. One of the central pillars of information security is risk management. At SYNGENITY®, we know that risk management within the framework of ISO 27001 is crucial to effectively protect your organization.
What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It provides a systematic approach to the management of sensitive company information and ensures its security. The standard includes a wide range of security controls to identify, assess and manage risks. The aim is to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information.
Why is risk management so important?
Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing and managing risks that could jeopardize the security of information in an organization. It is at the heart of ISO 27001 as it forms the basis for all other security measures. Without robust risk management, organizations can be exposed to unpredictable threats and security incidents that can have serious consequences.

Steps in the risk management process
- Identification of risks: The first step in risk management is to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities that could jeopardize information security. This includes both internal and external factors such as technical vulnerabilities, human error or natural disasters.
- Assessment of the risks: Once identified, risks are analyzed to determine their potential impact and likelihood of occurrence. This assessment makes it possible to prioritize the risks and allocate resources effectively.
- Implementation of controls: Based on the risk assessment, appropriate security controls are implemented to mitigate or eliminate the identified risks. This can include technical measures such as firewalls and encryption or organizational measures such as training and guidelines.
- Monitoring and review: Effective risk management requires continuous monitoring and regular review of the implemented controls. This ensures that security measures remain effective and are adapted to changing threats.
- Conducting internal audits: Internal audits are an essential part of risk management within ISO 27001, helping to assess the effectiveness of the ISMS and identify areas for improvement. Our consultants support you in planning and conducting these audits to ensure that all requirements are met.
Advantages of robust risk management
Strong risk management offers numerous advantages. It not only protects your company’s sensitive information, but also strengthens the trust of your customers and partners.
