IT Risk Assessment & Risk Management
A correctly performed risk management system of people, processes, and technology enables an organization to establish objectives aligned with values and risks. It is a nonstop process and changes over time. A successful risk assessment program focuses on risk and commits the necessary resources to control and mitigate risk.
Repeating and continually monitoring the processes can help assure maximum coverage of known and unknown risks. It is critical to identify threats and vulnerabilities the organization currently faces, determine the probability and impact of those threats, identify existing mitigating controls, and design audit procedures to test their effectiveness.
Thus, the business protects itself from uncertainty, reduces costs, and increases the likelihood of business continuity and success.

Legal-ishness: Reasonable Assurances, No Guarantees
A security audit (or any audit) cannot prove anything other than an audit was done. The main reason is that security controls, as a subset of a company’s internal controls, are overseen and owned by the management of that organization. As external independent actors, auditors cannot attest to security controls not subscribed to by management.
Therefore, auditors may only attest to the assertions of the organization’s management, and if necessary, security controls to achieve particular principles that need to be added or improved should qualify their opinion issued to management. It is management, not the security auditor, who ultimately decides to secure an organization.
