Capabilities
Risk Management
Identification, prioritization, mitigation, documentation, and continued management of physical, digital, operational, and reputational risk.
Capability overview
What this covers.
Risk management is the discipline that decides where effort goes. Without it, security spending follows whoever presented most recently rather than where exposure is greatest.
Protocol establishes a written risk picture, prioritizes it, tracks mitigation, and keeps it current as circumstances change.
Problems addressed
The conditions this work exists for.
01
Risk is discussed but not written down.
02
Mitigation is assumed complete once purchased.
03
Reputational and operational risk sit outside the security conversation.
04
Nobody reviews the picture after the initial assessment.
Write it down, rank it honestly, assign an owner to each item, track it to closure, and review it on a schedule rather than after an incident.
Core service areas
What the work contains.
- 01Risk identification across physical, digital, human, operational, and reputational dimensions
- 02Prioritization and treatment planning
- 03Mitigation tracking
- 04Documentation and governance
- 05Periodic review and reassessment

Relevant audiences
Who this is delivered to.
The same capability is scoped differently for each environment below. What changes is the exposure being addressed, not the discipline.
How the work is held
Assessment establishes the current state, architecture defines the target, integration brings systems and providers onto it, and management keeps it there as the environment changes.
Relevant products
The systems supporting it.
Each product below is in development. The capability is delivered by people and process today, not by software.
Protocol engages risk management against a described environment rather than a template.

Discuss risk management.
Most engagements begin with a defined-scope assessment: what is being protected, what is in place, and where responsibility actually sits.
