IT Risk Assessment

Information security is no longer only a technical concern. Organisations of all sizes and sectors are expected to manage information security risks in a structured, evidence-based and continually improving way. ISO/IEC 27001 provides an internationally recognised framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an Information Security Management System, or ISMS.

Forvis Mazars in Malta supports organisations with ISO/IEC 27001 certification readiness, ISMS implementation, information security risk assessments, internal audits and related assurance services. Our role is advisory and readiness-focused: we help clients prepare, implement and maintain an effective ISMS, while certification decisions remain the responsibility of the relevant accredited certification body.

Our approach is aligned with the wider Forvis Mazars capability in information security and certification-related services, including the Forvis Mazars Certification Hub, which focuses on ISO 27001 certification audit capability within the Forvis Mazars network.

How we can help

We provide practical ISO/IEC 27001 support across the ISMS lifecycle, including:

• ISO/IEC 27001 gap assessments — assessing current governance, policies, controls, risk management and evidence against ISO/IEC 27001 expectations.
• Information security risk assessment and treatment — supporting the identification, assessment and treatment of information security risks in line with organisational needs and business objectives.
• Internal audit support — planning and performing ISO/IEC 27001 internal audits, reporting findings and supporting corrective action tracking.
• Certification readiness support — preparing teams, evidence and documentation ahead of external certification audits without acting as the certification body.
• Continual improvement and assurance — supporting ongoing monitoring, control improvement, remediation tracking and periodic ISMS health checks.

Our approach

1. Assess readiness

We review your current information security arrangements, risk methodology, policies, controls, governance and evidence against ISO/IEC 27001 expectations.

2. Build or strengthen the ISMS

We help design proportionate processes, documentation and controls that fit your organisation’s size, sector, risk profile and operating model.

3. Test and evidence

We support internal audits, management review preparation, evidence gathering and remediation tracking so that the ISMS is not only documented, but operating in practice.

4. Improve continuously

We help management use audit findings, risk reviews, incidents, control testing and business changes to maintain and improve the ISMS over time.
