Cyber Risk Analysis & Management

In sensitive and regulated sectors, cybersecurity is not a luxury—it is a strategic imperative.
Scassi supports operators of critical infrastructure (OCI), manufacturers, and providers of critical embedded systems in managing cybersecurity risks throughout the entire lifecycle of their systems.

Our approach is based on recognized expertise, proven international standards ( ISO 27005, EBIOS RM, ISO 21434, IEC 62443, etc.), and a thorough understanding of the technical, regulatory, and operational constraints of these complex environments.

Risk Analysis of Image Information Systems

Risk Analysis of Information Systems

Anticipate threats to ensure the continuity and security of your critical systems.

We identify and model risk scenarios that could impact your information systems, using an approach aligned with the requirements of regulated industries. By applying the ISO 27005 and EBIOS Risk Manager frameworks, we define concrete, tailored, and proportionate security measures that are integrated into your existing processes.

Product Risk Analysis (Embedded Cybersecurity)

Secure your products from the design stage: from IoT components to critical platforms.

We work on highly critical embedded systems (automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, SCADA, etc.) using the TARA (Threat Analysis & Risk Assessment) approach. Our analyses are integrated into your software development life cycle (SDLC) and are based on the most stringent industry standards:

• ISO 21434 (automotive cybersecurity)

• IEC 62443 (Automation and Industry)

• DO-326A (aviation)

Objective: To identify, prioritize, and mitigate cybersecurity risks as early as possible in the value chain.

Quick Risk Analysis

A quick and expert response for critical decisions, without compromising on accuracy.

In certain situations, critical organizations must make security decisions on very short notice: changing configurations, integrating new equipment, responding to an emerging vulnerability, or evaluating a service provider.

Our rapid risk assessments provide a quick, structured, and prioritized analysis that helps evaluate the major risks associated with a specific action or situation.

Objective: To provide, within a few days, a clear overview of threats, vulnerabilities, and potential impacts, along with concrete and immediately actionable recommendations.

Use cases:

• Rapid integration of a new system or component into a mission-critical environment
• Response to a security breach or CERT alert
• Risk assessment related to a change in architecture or vendor
• Rapid preparation for an audit or regulatory inspection

Method:

• Targeted interviews with stakeholders
• Rapid mapping of critical assets
• Qualitative risk assessment based on appropriate frameworks (EBIOS Express, simplified ISO 27005, streamlined TARA)
• Clear summary: priority scenarios, unacceptable risks, immediate recommendations

FAQ

1. What is risk management, and why is it important?

Risk management involves identifying, assessing, and managing potential risks that could affect a business. It is crucial because it helps minimize the financial, operational, or reputational impacts caused by unforeseen events. By implementing risk management strategies, businesses can anticipate and prepare for potential threats, thereby ensuring their resilience and long-term performance.

2. What are the main steps in risk management?

Risk management involves several key steps: identifying risks, assessing their likelihood and impact, addressing risks through corrective measures, and finally, regularly monitoring and reviewing the strategies put in place. These steps help create a solid framework for proactive risk management, allowing responses to be adjusted as circumstances change.

3. How can risk management be integrated into corporate strategy?

Integrating risk management into corporate strategy first requires a comprehensive assessment of risks at all levels: operational, strategic, financial, and technical. Next, it is necessary to establish risk management policies and processes tailored to the company’s specific needs. Stakeholder engagement, employee training, and the establishment of risk management committees are also essential to ensuring a continuous and effective approach.

4. What are the common methods for managing risks?

Risk management methods include avoidance, mitigation, transfer (such as insurance), and acceptance of residual risk. Each risk must be assessed based on its criticality and managed appropriately to minimize its potential impact on the company’s operations.

5. How does risk management help ensure compliance with regulations?

Proactive risk management makes it easier for companies to comply with industry-specific and legal regulations, such as the GDPR, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or ISO standards. By identifying regulatory risks and implementing measures to address them, companies can avoid costly penalties and ensure ongoing compliance.
