📊Creating Your First Risk Assessment

Learn how to create your first Risk Assessment

How to create a risk assessment

1. Firstly, we need to import some external objects before starting our risk assessment: a matrix, threats and reference controls.

2. We can create the risk assessment, and take a look inside.

3. We find three parts: details about the assessment, the list of associated risk scenarios and the risk matrix view.

4. Let's add the first scenario and do the current assessment of it.

You can see that we didn't find the threat we were looking for in the imported library, so we decided to create a custom threat.

1. Next in this example, we chose to mitigate the scenario by creating an applied control for it. Depending on your assessment needs, you may choose to skip this process or choose an alternative.

2. We go back in the scenario edit view, add the freshly created applied control, do the residual assessment and choose a strength of knowledge level.

As you can see, back in the risk assessment view, the current and residual scenario were added in matrix views with a diamond to indicate the strength of knowledge. To find out more about this concept, take a look at the Risk analysis introduction from the Society of Risk Analysis.
