Bharat,

That's the Microsoft Risk Assessment/Analysis methodology, and it is
a good way to go.

One thing I've changed about it is the risk calculation. We need to
establish the risk criteria for impact and likelihood (financial
impact, availability impact, confidentiality impact, integrity
impact).

After we calculate the impact with all that variables, and the
likelihood (I use 2 likelihood variables), we can use the well known
"Risk = Impact * Likelihood".

Then we need to define the controls and the residual risks after
implementing that controls.

Regards,

Fábio Soto

I FOUND chapter 4 somewhat relevent.
 Naturally it is a copy from somewhere.

Hi Ronish,

Consider the following for building an information asset register
for
Risk  assessment  1. Identify the different process / functions and
then list assets under  each process / function  2. Information
assets
are of different types (Physical, Software, paper,  people, services,
information)  3. Add Owner, Custodian and User tag to each asset  4.
Add confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (CIA) to each asset

This should be enough to initiate Risk Assessment, which will cover
how well  the sensitive data is protected.

Hope this helps,

Best regards,
Santosh

Parker,

Great document, thank you !

To increase the quality of the document, I would use Availability,
Integrity  and Confidentiality to calculate the asset's business
impact.

Regards,

Fábio

Hi list,

happy New Year to all of you

Looking for some best practices, reallife recommendations on how to
go about  to build up an Information Asset register, which will
basically contain a  list of information being used within the
organisation, where and how it is  stored, and where it is
distributed, e.g. Card Information being stored on  local hard disk
without any encryption

This will be the basis to perform information risk assessments to
mitigate  potential risk issues

Any help on how to proceed, methodology and tools to manage all of
this will  be greatly appreciated

Thanks & regards,
Ronish
