Risk Assessment & Treatment
4.1 Assessing Security Risks
Risk assessments should identify, quantify, and prioritize risks against criteria for risk
acceptance and objectives relevant to the organization.
4.2 Treating Security Risks
Before considering the treatment of a risk, the organization should decide criteria for determining
whether or not risks can be accepted. Risks may be accepted if, for example, it is assessed that
the risk is low or that the cost of treatment is not cost-effective for the organization. Such
decisions should be recorded.
