The Cyber Security Risk Assessment Matrix serves as a crucial tool for organizations operating in Canada to systematically evaluate and manage their cybersecurity risks. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to conduct thorough risk assessments to comply with Canadian privacy laws, including PIPEDA, and industry-specific regulations. It provides a structured methodology for identifying potential threats, assessing vulnerabilities, and evaluating the potential impact of security incidents. The matrix includes comprehensive risk scoring mechanisms, mapping of existing controls, and recommendations for risk treatment, all while ensuring alignment with Canadian legal requirements and industry best practices. It should be regularly updated to reflect evolving cyber threats and changes in the regulatory landscape.
