hi christian,

Good point.

A combined risk score based on “SIL” levels is what I was using in my 
article.  The combination risk score takes into account both technology 
risk and business risk.  Using one component or the other alone is folly.

I wrote my latest SearchSecurity article based on conversations I have

security execs.  It’s about what happens when risk management goes bad. 
The biggest failure condition seems
to be “ignoring the lows” entirely.

"High" technology risks, such as chained exploits, are "low" business
risks in the context of ISO 31000 et al.
