Risk Assessment
The rigorous, repeatable process of identifying and evaluating risk — likelihood, impact, and priority — so decisions rest on a clear picture, not guesswork.
What it is, and why it matters.
Risk assessment is the structured process of identifying risks and evaluating them by likelihood and impact, so they can be prioritised and acted on. The goal isn't a document — it's a prioritised, defensible view that drives real decisions about what to protect first. A good assessment is repeatable: run the same way each time, so results are comparable and trends are visible. It's the input that makes Risk Treatment and Strategy possible.
Who it affects.
Any organisation that needs to decide where to focus limited security effort — and anyone whose framework or regulation (ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA) requires documented, repeatable risk assessment.
