Urs+Nahum’s Checklist - risk assessment star values
There are an ever growing number of
- standards,
- guidelines,
- checklists, and
- assessment instruments
with which organizations are expected to demonstrate some level of compliance. Unfortunately, firms have been buried in an avalanche of paper requirements.
Urs+Nahum’s Checklist is a tool that uses the star-ranking system as presented below to help guide organizational efforts to improve risk management and faciliate internal controls.
| CyTRAP Labs 5-star ranking system | ||
| ***** | severe | The lowest hanging fruits, cheapest and easiest to implement upfront, or when absolutely no waiting is allowed (i.e., if legal compliance is required) |
| category | critical | Less easy to implement, but still short term |
| category | essential | Equally essential as are the higher ratings, but realistically slower or more expensive to implement |
| category | elevated | Should be considered, especially if the resources allowed and the higher ratings have already been implemented |
| category | low | Nice to have |
