Study Notes
Risk Management and Privacy
- Domain 3.0 focuses on Security Architecture, emphasizing data protection strategies.
- Data types include regulated, trade secrets, intellectual property, legal, financial, and human- vs. non-human-readable information.
- Data classifications are sensitive, confidential, public, restricted, private, and critical.
Security Program Management and Oversight
- Effective security governance mandates clear roles, such as Owners, Controllers, Processors, and Custodians.
- The risk management process encompasses several stages:
- Identification: Recognizing potential risks.
- Assessment: Approaches include Ad hoc, Recurring, One-time, Continuous evaluations.
- Analysis: Techniques include Qualitative and Quantitative methods, with key metrics like Single Loss Expectancy (SLE) and Annualized Loss Expectancy (ALE).
- Risk Register tracks key risk indicators, risk owners, and risk thresholds, playing a crucial role in risk management.
Risk Analysis and Calculations
- SLE is the expected loss during an attack, calculated by multiplying asset value by the exposure factor.
- ALE represents the annual projected loss based on SLE and Annualized Rate of Occurrence (ARO).
- Organizations should prioritize investments in controls that do not exceed the corresponding ALE to ensure cost-effectiveness in risk management.
Qualitative vs. Quantitative Risk Analysis
- Quantitative analysis suits financial risks, but many risks require qualitative evaluation.
- Vendor due diligence is critical; inadequate security from cloud service providers can jeopardize data integrity.
- Ensuring hardware authenticity helps mitigate risks of tampering during shipment.
Managing Risk
- Risk management involves systematic approaches to prioritize and address risks, using strategies like:
- Mitigation
- Avoidance
- Transference
- Acceptance
- Regular assessments of risk controls are essential for ongoing risk management.
Risk Register
- The Risk Register serves as a primary tracking tool for risk management professionals.
- Key elements in the register include:
- Risk Owner: Individual accountable for managing the risk.
- Risk Threshold: Defines the level of risk that is acceptable.
- Key Risk Indicators (KRIs): Metrics that signal increased risk.
Risk Reporting
- Communicating risk status to stakeholders is vital for informed decision-making regarding resource allocation and priority setting.
- Disaster recovery planning creates a roadmap for maintaining operations following disruptions, encompassing both natural and human-made disasters.
Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
- BIA identifies critical functions and systems necessary for an organization to operate effectively.
- Key metrics in BIA include:
- Mean Time to Repair (MTTR): Duration to recover after a failure.
- Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF): Expected interval between system failures, aiding reliability estimates.
- Conducting site risk assessments for disaster preparedness enhances organizational resilience against various risks.
