What is typically included in a cybersecurity risk assessment?

A cybersecurity risk assessment primarily focuses on identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing risks to the organization’s information systems. This includes a comprehensive review of the organization's vulnerabilities—those weak points that could be exploited by adversaries—and potential threats, which are the various ways those vulnerabilities could be targeted or attacked.

Conducting this thorough analysis is crucial to understanding the risks that the organization faces and aids in the development of strategies to mitigate or manage those risks effectively. It provides a framework for the organization to protect its assets, ensuring it can continue to operate securely and efficiently in a landscape of ever-evolving cyber threats.

The other options, such as employee satisfaction, office layouts, and market analysis for competitive advantage, do not directly contribute to assessing cybersecurity risks. While they may be important for overall organizational performance and strategy, they do not pertain specifically to identifying and mitigating threats and vulnerabilities related to IT security.
