Identify threats/risks and vulnerabilities to taking account frequency, probability, speed of development, severity, and reputational impact for a holistic view of risk across the entity.

14
Q

A

Identify risk exposure from both internal and external sources. Sources- Natural, technological or acts of man, Industry/business model, Accidental vs. intentional, controllable risk vs. no control risk, prior warning risk vs. no warning.

15
Q

How would BCP identify probabilities and impact of the threat/risk identified? (a)

A

Develop a method to evaluate exposures/risk in terms of risk frequency, probability, speed of development, pre-incident warning, severity and entity impact.

16
Q

How would BCP identify probabilities and impact of the threat/risk identified? (b)

A

Identify the impact of identified risks. Risk impacts include facility, security (physical and logical), reputational, legal, customer, procedural, IT (operational infrastructure), people, supply chain, & compliance.

17
Q

How would BCP identify probabilities and impact of the threat/risk identified? (c)

A

Evaluate identified risk and classify them according to relevant criteria including risk under entities control, risk not under the control of the entity, risk with prior warning and risk with no warning.

18
Q

How would BCP identify probabilities and impact of the threat/risk identified? (d)

A

Evaluate impact of risks and vulnerabilities on those factors essential for conducting the entity’s operations by availability of IT, personnel, communication and status if infrastructure.

19
Q

How would BCP identify and evaluate the effectiveness of current controls and safeguards? (a)

A

Identify and evaluate the effectiveness of the inherent protection afforded key assets by virtue of their location relative to sources of risk.

20
