Risk Assessment for Asset Owners by Alan Calder

Risk Assessment for Asset Owners by Alan Calder

All organizations face risks to information and information assets. Many organizations seek to identify and control those risks, usually as part of a structured approach to information security risk management. Risk assessment is at the heart of risk management, and the two together form the core competences of information security management. ISO27001 specifies a series of steps that must form part of the risk assessment. While a number of people in the organization will have a role to play in respect of risk assessment, these steps include a specific role for what the standard describes as asset owners . This book covers: * Information Security Risk Management * Definitions * Asset Owners * Overview of the Risk Assessment Process * Asset Identification * Threats and Vulnerabilities * Asset Valuation * Risk Level * Risk Treatment and Control * Statement of Applicability and Risk Treatment Plan * Reviewing the Risk Assessment
