You're not alone. Report writing is the leading cause of procrastination in the 21st century!
​
Security risk assessments can be fascinating, fun, and a chance to see and do things that most people will never do. Lets face it, part of the attraction of our job is to see places and activities that most people can't get to. Places they don't know exist and that we can't even discuss.
One thing we can and do discuss is to complain about the report writing. I don't know anyone who likes it. We all leave the writing part to the last minute and try to finish it as quickly as possible.
What if I told you there is a better way? We built software to make our security risk assessment reports easier and faster. We wanted a rigorous and fast approach but had an EXPORT button to produce a complete final report.
We've been using the system for four years now and love it. Eventually, we decided to share it, thinking, "What could possibly go wrong?" It turns out that commercializing software is challenging (aka expensive). :-)
​
But we managed it anyway. We call it SECTARA, and there is a fully functional free trial. The basic paid plan is only $100/month, and it will reward you 20X with the amount of time it will save you.
​
If learning a new platform sounds daunting, we've made it easy. There is a comprehensive knowledge base and onboarding.
As an SRMBOK Newsletter subscriber, if you sign up for any paid plan, we will review your risk criteria, give you feedback for improving it, and configure your SECTARA platform.
Sign up for a Silver plan or higher, and we will even help you do your first risk assessment. To take us up on this offer, forward the welcome email, your risk criteria, and any questions to info@srmbok.com. We'll take it from there.
​
Btw, SECTARA isn't just about security. You can use it for any risk assessment, whether security, safety, engineering or anything up to and including enterprise risk assessments.
