A common distinction, made clear

Due diligence and security risk assessment are not the same thing

Important decisions depend on reliable information about the people and organisations involved, and on a clear-eyed view of the assets and controls that need protecting. ABSCO keeps the two disciplines distinct.

Due diligence focuses on

  • People, organisations and counterparties
  • Vendors, partners and employees
  • Ownership and beneficial ownership
  • Background, integrity and reputation
  • Intelligence

Security risk assessment focuses on

  • Assets and operating environment
  • Threats and vulnerabilities
  • Existing controls
  • Likelihood and impact
  • Risk treatment
