The LeveL5Cyber Application & Infrastructure Risk Assessment service is designed to identify quantified risks of customer-defined critical applications and includes the systems and infrastructure that these applications reside on and are supported by and goes across all company functions defined in within the scope of the Service. This Service identifies the relevant threats to the Customer’s environment and includes the probability of the event and the potential impact in terms of a financial cost. This Risk Assessment leverages industry standards and is based on the NIST (SP) 800-30 standard as well as other NIST 800-series related standards to maximize the assessment results and provides a “right-sized” approach for the organization. This proven methodology identifies threat types, business impacts, and financial impacts and results in a prioritized list of the identified risks along with estimates of cost and effort for remediation of identified gaps and includes a detailed project plan with actionable steps for prioritized remediation efforts.

Application & Infrastructure Risk Assessment
Taking the complexities of each organizational structure into account is critical for the development and implementation of effective cybersecurity, especially for large enterprises.
An Application & Infrastructure Risk Assessment completed by the right professionals may help organizations to:
- Demonstrate weaknesses in critical OT
- Identify prioritized, actionable solutions
- Evaluate preventative measures
- Implement cybersecurity defenses in ways that minimize impact on operations
At LeveL5Cyber, our team has the expertise to complete this type of precise, complex assessment.
Application Risk Assessment Features
An Application Risk Assessment is a specialized version of our comprehensive OT cybersecurity framework assessment, providing greater personalization on the part of the enterprise. Our assessments consider multiple industry-specific features to help ensure we can better meet the unique cybersecurity needs of each organization.
Client-Designated Critical Operations
With Application & Infrastructure Risk Assessments, our team helps identify which systems, applications, and processes are critical to protect in the event of a cyberattack.
As an example: For offshore oil platforms, key equipment may include gas detectors, motors, and process controls. For hospitals, power generators and critical care equipment are most often a top priority.
Cybersecurity Best Practices
We utilize current frameworks from trusted cybersecurity organizations:
- National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
- International Society of Automation (ISA)
- International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
LeveL5Cyber services can cover NIST CSF 2.0 models, NIST 800-30, 800-series best practices, and ISA/IEC 62443 standards for automated systems.
Customized Solutions
One benefit of our application risk assessments is that findings and follow-up recommendations more precisely fit company priorities. We coordinate closely with enterprise operational leaders to establish objectives and adhere to application needs.
Preparing for an Application & Infrastructure Risk Assessment
Our team has decades of specialized experience in IT/OT cybersecurity for large-scale businesses. We can help guide enterprises through the risk assessment process, providing a clear roadmap for OT cybersecurity implementation. Contact us today for more details.

LeveL5Cyber’s Risk Assessments enable organizations to inform and prioritize decisions regarding cybersecurity. The services take into consideration today’s evolving threat landscape to drive cybersecurity priorities with an outcome-driven approach using industry standard processes.
While timing can vary, most Assessments will take approximately five to six weeks to complete. Program Development services may take longer based on the scope.
The ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards define requirements and processes for implementing and maintaining electronically secure industrial automation and control systems (IACS). These standards set best practices for security and provide a way to assess the level of security performance.
A NIST Special Publication provides guidance on how to secure operational technology (OT) while addressing their unique performance, reliability, and safety requirements. OT encompasses a broad range of programmable systems and devices that interact with the physical environment (or manage devices that interact with the physical environment). These systems and devices detect or cause a direct change through the monitoring and/or control of devices, processes, and events. Examples include industrial control systems, building automation systems, transportation systems, physical access control systems, physical environment monitoring systems, and physical environment measurement systems.
