Control Analysis

All the industry defined standard controls and questionnaires will not be applicable while running periodic assessments. You may have to analyze the controls that are already enforced or those applicable controls which are planned for implementation by the organization to minimize the risks to an acceptable level. You could recommend appropriate controls based on the results of the risk assessment process. Users can secure their domain by mapping extra controls to a risk when certain controls are unfit in exercising the mitigation process.
