C.R.I.S. (Critical Risk Identification System) Risk Assessment Software



C.R.I.S. (Critical Risk Identification System) Risk Assessment Software CRI is introducing C.R.I.S.(TM), a new, comprehensive risk assessment software product for physical and cyber-security. No existing product on the market comes close to providing a mission based risk assessment in a simple to use approach, with scalability from the smallest to the largest organization, and very specific risk identification and specific risk mitigation approaches. Within C.R.I.S., only mission critical assets are valued, rather than tediously valuing all assets. What sets C.R.I.S. apart from the competition is the unique question sets utilized to identify vulnerabilities. C.R.I.S.'s questions dynamically adjust, based on the answers to the previous questions, to insure that time isn't wasted answering questions that are not relevant. C.R.I.S. greatly simplifies the process of completing a organization's risk assessment, while building on the capability of existing risk based methodologies. An easy to use interface following a mission based approach walks the user through defining the organization's mission, identifying critical assets that support the mission, existing countermeasures, vulnerability, and likelihood of threats, risks and potential countermeasures.

Highlights:
o Organizationally robust allowing separate facilities to be integrated into a single assessment process.
o Risk surveys can be completed by one user, or distributed to multiple individuals allowing input responsibilities to be distributed amongst several people in the same organization.
o Missions can be divided into asset category sections then distributed amongst several people in the same organization.
o Assessment progress notification, provides automatic email notification of when workflow steps are completed through the C.R.I.S.'s secure web interface.
o C.R.I.S.'s workflow allows users to identify potential loss, and countermeasure return on investment.
o Separate Security Analyst/Officer module dynamically manages the organization's risk, through an edit screen to quickly identify new vulnerabilities should mission priorities, organizational structure, or perceived risk change.
o Powerful reporting options include:
- Mission based reporting of risks and recommended counter measures;
- Summaries across missions, facilities, or the enterprise;
- A Risk Mitigation analysis demonstrating the ROI when suggested countermeasures are chosen; and
- Cost justification tools that compare potential loss to countermeasure cost C.R.I.S. is web based, allowing complete protection of data and control of access to sensitive information, with the flexibility to work in your organization.

Features such as Unique Identity for users, Authorization and Authentication credentials, Role-Based Access Controls and Discretionary Access Control all assist in protecting your data.
