Security Control Assessment (SCA)

Security Control Assessment (SCA) is a systematic process used to evaluate how effectively an organization’s security measures protect its information systems. It involves reviewing and testing security controls—such as firewalls, access policies, and encryption—to ensure they are properly implemented and functioning as intended. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities or weaknesses, verify compliance with security standards, and improve overall protection against cyber threats. Essentially, SCA helps organizations confirm that their security controls are robust and consistent, reducing the risk of data breaches or cyberattacks.
