Risk Assessment

Identify and prioritize risks to safeguard critical assets. Forgepath turns threats and obligations into clear, ranked decisions that leaders trust and teams can execute.

See Risks clearly

Turn Uncertainty Into Ranked Remediation Actions

Most risk debates stall over definitions and opinions. This engagement replaces ambiguity with a shared language for risk—grounded in how your organization builds products, manages data, and depends on vendors. We look at business goals, regulatory and contractual expectations, and credible threat scenarios to frame what matters most. The outcome is agreement on appetite and tolerance, so decisions move faster and trade-offs are explicit.

We’re equally focused on making risk operational. You’ll see how likelihood and impact translate into priority, how safeguards reduce exposure, and which signals indicate change over time. The result is a risk picture leaders can use in planning and a set of actions teams can sequence without churn—so risk management stops being a report and starts guiding everyday choices.

Focus On What Matters

Inside Your Risk Assessment Service

We translate security architecture and operations into plain-language priorities, backed by defensible evidence and an execution plan.

Anchor risk to what the business values.

  • Identify critical services, data classes, and dependencies (internal and third-party).

  • Consider legal/contract drivers and customer expectations to set practical boundaries.

Understand how risk becomes impact.

  • Map realistic threat paths (e.g., identity abuse, cloud missteps, supplier failure, data mishandling).

  • Highlight who/what is affected and where controls actually intercept the path.

Make choices comparable.

  • Apply a consistent model for likelihood/impact and potential harms; calibrate to appetite and tolerance.

  • Produce ranked outcomes that spotlight near-term focus areas versus longer-term improvements.

Reduce risk—and show progress.

  • Select reduce/avoid/transfer/accept with rationale tied to safeguards and owners.

  • Define lightweight KRIs/KPIs to monitor drift and trigger re-evaluation when conditions change.
