The primary objectives of a vulnerability assessment (VA) are to provide information on the security and operational posture of a military unit or commercial enterprise to improve mission capability, and to protect proprietary technology/information by identifying Information Operations (IO) vulnerabilities in some or all of the following areas:

• Deficiencies in policy, programs, or personnel security resulting in Organizational vulnerabilities.
• Vulnerabilities resulting from Organizational structure and information flow.
• Vulnerability of computer networks, and the systems they support, to threats which could adversely impact the unit’s ability to accomplish critical mission functions.
• Vulnerability to enemy/adversary intelligence activities including SIGINT, IMINT and HUMINT. Vulnerabilities identified through counterintelligence activities.
• People, process or technology vulnerabilities identified via a SSE-CMM (ISO 21827) survey.
• Enforcement in areas of OPSEC, INFOSEC, or physical/personnel security.

After analyzing the current situation and risk from all perspectives (people, processes, technology), the IIT team will produce a detailed report, complete with recommendations to address all findings. Customers may then rely on IIT for all security process reengineering, infrastructure improvement, training and implementation needs.
