System for information security threat assessment and event triggering

A computer processor-implemented method for determining security-related inquiries and inquiry frequency, the method comprising:

• retrieving, from one or more external data sources via a publicly-accessible portion of a distributed computing network, security-related external data associated with the entity;
• receiving, from one or more internal data sources via a privately-accessible portion of the distributed computing network, security-related internal data associated with the entity;
• generating, by a computing device processor, a plurality of security-related inquiries requesting input parameters, wherein the plurality of inquiries are generated specific to the entity based at least on the security-related external data and the security-related internal data;
• and
• determining, by a computing device processor, a frequency for invoking the plurality of inquiries based at least on the security-related external data and the security-related internal data.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising codes for causing a computing device processor to:
• retrieve, from one or more external data sources via a publicly-accessible portion of a distributed computing network, security-related external data associated with the entity;
• receive, from one or more internal data sources via a privately-accessible portion of the distributed computing network, security-related internal data associated with the entity;
• generate a plurality of security-related inquiries requesting input parameters, wherein the plurality of inquiries are generated specific to the entity based at least on the security-related external data and the security-related internal data;
• and
• determine a frequency for invoking the plurality of inquiries based at least on the security-related external data and the security-related internal data.
