The primary areas of concern include high-severity data breach potential and moderate-severity regulatory non-compliance with 2026 data residency laws.
This document serves as a roadmap for prioritizing remediation efforts.
2. Methodology
The assessment utilized a Qualitative Risk Analysis approach:
Identification: Internal audits and network vulnerability scanning.
Measurement: Evaluation of risks based on a Likelihood vs. Impact matrix.
Prioritization: Ranking risks to ensure immediate resource allocation to high-stakes vulnerabilities.
