How do you perform risk assessments for threats?
Identify potential threats: Start by making a list of potential risks or threats. Consider both internal and external threats, such as natural disasters, cyber-attacks, employee misconduct, and data breaches.
Analyze each threat: For each threat, assess the probability of occurrence and the potential severity of the damage. This helps you prioritize the risks and determine which ones need to be addressed first.
Develop a response plan: Develop a plan to respond to each risk. This should include steps to prevent the threat as well as procedures to follow if the threat occurs.
Monitor and review: Monitor the threats and review your risk assessment regularly. As the environment changes, new threats may arise, and existing ones may become more or less severe.
