Topic: Conducting an Effective Security Assessment for Grant Application Success
Details: Be it HSGP, UASI or NSGP, the security grant application process can be daunting and often overwhelming. As such security professionals may see the required Vulnerability/Risk Assessment as “low hanging fruit” and use their standard assessment template or even an old assessment they have on file. What if your assessment completed the application for you? This presentation will give you the blueprint for conducting a comprehensive security assessment that will help you complete the application, boost your score and increase the likelihood of being awarded the funding.
