IT Risk Assessment
Information security rarely fails for technical reasons. Problems arise from unclear processes, outdated policies, incorrect access rights, or human behavior. As a result, the actual risks often remain hidden.
With an IT risk assessment from OneXillium, you can identify strategic vulnerabilities and their impact. This gives you well-founded insight into your biggest threats and how to manage them through targeted improvement measures.
IT Risk Assessment
Every industry faces unique risks and deserves a tailored approach.

Benefits for Your Organization
Our Two-Phase Approach
Our IT Risk Assessment is based on the CIS18 framework and a maturity model in accordance with current standards (ISO/NEN).
Phase 1: Risk Assessment
We assess your current security measures and evaluate five pillars against a maturity model based on ISO and NEN standards. This allows us to identify your risks and determine whether your risk management aligns with your organizational goals.
Phase 2: Advisory Report with Priorities
Based on the CIS18 framework, we conduct an in-depth risk analysis. We identify missing controls and vulnerabilities and translate these into a concrete advisory report. This includes risk priorities, practical recommendations, a benchmark, and insight into compliance requirements such as ISO 27001, NEN, and DORA.
Continuously identify where your systems are vulnerable. Using automated scans, we systematically identify weaknesses such as open ports, outdated software, and misconfigurations. This approach covers your entire infrastructure and is ideal for IT teams that want to get a handle on technical vulnerabilities.
Simulate a real attack without the risks. Our ethical hackers test just how far an attacker can actually go. Think of weak passwords, access vulnerabilities, or misconfigurations. You determine the scope yourself: applications, networks, or personnel. Perfect for organizations that want to measure and demonstrate their resilience.
Gain a clear understanding of strategic IT risks. We analyze threats such as data breaches, insider threats, policies, legislation, and human behavior. Through interviews, analyses, and risk models, you’ll gain insight into both impact and priority. Ideal for executive management, CISOs, or compliance departments during audits, mergers, infrastructure changes, or policy changes.

Absolutely. Smaller organizations in particular—those that don’t have a CISO on staff—benefit from understanding their risks.
In sectors such as financial services (DORA) and government (BIO), risk management and compliance are mandatory requirements. An IT Risk Assessment helps you gain a demonstrable understanding of your risks and comply with legal requirements.
We analyze risks at the strategic level: processes, policies, access control, human error, governance, backups, legislation, etc. Through interviews and risk models, we assess impact and probability and identify priorities for action.
