Smart cyber defence begins with understanding your risk. As cyberattacks grow more frequent and sophisticated, few organisations have emerged from 2025 untouched, and the financial impact continues to rise—data breaches in the US averaged $10.22 million in 2024, up 9% year on year. With costs escalating and threat landscapes constantly expanding, many organisations struggle to know where to start. The foundation is visibility: before effective defences can be built, organisations must clearly understand their current risk posture, which is precisely what a cybersecurity risk assessment delivers.
