Knox: The Infrastructure for Actionable Intelligence

Risk Assessments

What could go wrong, where it is most likely to break, and how to close the distance between policy and reality.

Exposure with evidence

We map risk where it actually lives—people, process, and infrastructure.

Policies and frameworks describe risk in theory. Incidents reveal it in practice. Our assessments are built to close that gap. We look at how people work, how controls are bypassed, and how decisions are really made.

The output is not a generic heat map. You get a prioritized list of exposures, the evidence behind each finding, and clear owners for remediation—documented in a way that can stand up to audits, regulators, and boards.

Assessment lenses
  • Human: roles, incentives, and failure points in workflow
  • Physical: sites, assets, and access paths
  • Digital: systems, data, and third-party connections
  • Governance: policy, ownership, and escalation paths
  • Evidence: how you will prove diligence after an incident

Build a quick risk focus map.

Select the areas that are keeping your team up at night. We’ll outline how a first assessment pass usually runs.

Step 1

Where are you most concerned?

Pick as many as apply. This does not create a formal engagement—just a working sketch.

Step 2

Your focus map

Selected focus areas will appear here with a recommended starting pattern.

Selected areas

    Suggested assessment stance

    Start with a scoping call to clarify scope, constraints, and what “success” looks like for your leadership.

    Method

    A structured run that leaves a usable record behind.

    We keep the assessment pass transparent and repeatable. Below is a typical pattern for a focused engagement.

    01. Frame

    Define scope, critical assets, and decision-makers. Align on what you would treat as a “material” weakness.

    02. Observe

    Interview stakeholders, review artifacts, and—where possible—watch the work being done in the real environment.

    03. Test

    Probe controls for failure paths and workarounds. Validate whether policy aligns with how tools and people behave.

    04. Prioritize

    Rank findings by impact, likelihood, and ease of remediation. Assign owners and outline next steps.
