IT Governance exhibiting at Cybersecurity Technology Showcase - Secure Cambridge event

ELY, UNITED KINGDOM, March 2, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- IT Governance is proud to participate as a technology exhibitor at Secure Cambridge, taking place on 5 April 2016 at Murray Edwards College, the University of Cambridge.

As an innovative technology company operating in the Silicon Fen, IT Governance is pleased to be considered as a participant in the Cybersecurity Technology Showcase session.

The conference explores the impact of the rise of the virtual organisation on security practice. The event will address solutions that are emerging to tackle this environment, and the lessons being learned within professional practice.

Pioneering risk assessment technology

IT Governance will introduce attendees to its pioneering cyber security risk assessment software, vsRisk™, developed by its software development arm, Vigilant Software. IT Governance is also a reseller for vsRisk.

The presentation will provide practical guidance on conducting a cyber security risk assessment, based on the requirements of the international information security standard, ISO/IEC 27001, and demonstrate how the software works.

Risk assessments need not be challenging

Alan Calder, founder and executive chairman of IT Governance Ltd, says: “The risk assessment is a critical element of an effective cyber security strategy, but is often viewed as a complex and burdensome process. One third of companies do not conduct a risk assessment at all, according to HM Government’s 2015 Information Security Breaches Survey. With the right tools and resources, however, the risk assessment can deliver simple, fast, and hassle-free risk assessments, removing human error from the equation.”

vsRisk has already been adopted by hundreds of companies globally to help them reduce the cost and effort involved in conducting a risk assessment. Meeting the ISO 27001 requirements for consistent, comparable and repeatable results, vsRisk includes numerous advanced features, such as built-in information security policies and procedures, a sample risk assessment, built in databases of threats and vulnerabilities, and seven different control sets.

The software is available in either a Standalone version or a network-enabled Multi-user version, and prices start from £595.
