A menu-driven web interface walks users through setting up risk
assessments by de ning systems, processes and the process system
relation. Business impact, vulnerabilities and threats are documented
through the use of questionnaire-based assessments, as is reporting
on vulnerabilities at the network asset and process level, and
managing the work ow associated with the remediation of risks.

Risk assessments are derived from the enterprise security policy and are
customizable to the standard to which the enterprise is aligned.
Regardless of the standard to which it maps, the risk assessment
methodology complies with ISO 27001/27002 standards. The
work ow engine was helpful. It integrated with Active Directory (AD)
and the lightweight directory access protocol natively to facilitate the
tracking of tasks, questionnaires and documentation.

SecureAware can report an enterprise risk pro le on a continuous basis through its dashboard and report-writing capabilities. Browser-based graphical presentations of risk data, business impact and risk assessments and analysis are also included. Sold as a software solution, the o ering is deployed on either a Windows or Linux server. It is a light and simple implementation. Eight-hours-a-day/ ve-days-a-week phone and email support is
included for the rst year and provided at a fee after that.

This solution focuses on the business risk side of the equation. It provides e ective tools for creating policies and measures and maps risk to those policies and industry standards. From a policy/risk management aspect, this is a strong tool. We like that Lightwave also included business continuity planning in the risk management
process.
