/EINPresswire.com/ Vigilant Software, the ISO27001 and cybersecurity risk assessment specialists, have announced the release of v1.6 of its established software product vsRisk™, the ISO27001 Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Tool. With this tool the traditional complex process of risk assessment is made easy, enabling organisations to speed up their ISO27001 implementation projects. Find out more here: www.vigilantsoftware.co.uk.
vsRisk uses a risk assessment ‘wizard’ to automate the process of delivering an ISO27001-compliant risk assessment and it is straightforward and quick to use. This tool will save you a significant amount of money and will help you identify, measure and control the risks facing your organisation. It assesses key areas such as groups, assets and owners in relation to your individual Information Security Policy, capturing your objectives and ISMS scope. vsRisk enables you to assess risks at an individual asset level, in relation to threats to confidentiality, integrity and availability that might impact business, legal or contractual requirements.
vsRisk v1.6, replacing its predecessor v1.5.4, has three key new features:
-There are two variants: either a standalone or network deployment (in fact, a company can start using the tool on a standalone basis and then migrate it to a network environment when necessary).
-Inheritable assessments can be applied at Asset Group Level.
-New user interface and operational functionality.
It is projected that the vsRisk ISO27001 Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Tool will reduce risk assessment time by up to 90%.
vsRisk v1.6 is fully compliant with ISO27001, and written to the recommended methods outlined in ISO27002. It also meets the requirements of ISO27005, and the UK Risk Assessment Standard, as well as BS7799-3 and NIST 800-30.
This fully comprehensive risk assessment tool will save you months of work and reduce the amount of lost time required for a trial and error approach. It will free up a large proportion of otherwise ‘sunk’ costs that eat into the project resources budget, and it is a permanent tool that adjusts to the growth and change in your organisation at your convenience, in hindsight, saving you more money.
This tool will prove over and over to be an excellent investment; one client said: “This tool is comprehensively the best!”
Another feature of vsRiskv1.6 is the Annual Support and Updates Package, available for both variations of vsRisk. For just £10 per month (paid by direct debit) The Annual Support and Updates Package will give you unlimited telephone or email technical support and you will automatically receive any updates that are made available within 12 months. This is a popular choice amongst those who have already purchased the latest version because the alternative for any sort of support required is £70 for each technical issue. Updates can also be purchased separately but also at an additional cost. The support package is ultimately the better option.
Alan Calder, CEO of Vigilant Software, says “vsRisk from Vigilant Software is the world’s leading risk assessment tool for ISO27001 – far and away the simplest risk assessment tool to use anywhere in the world. We’ve never seen the point of using complex spreadsheets for a risk assessment when a tool such as this enables you to achieve consistent risk assessment results in a reproducible way.”
