The 5 key steps are:

  • Project Definition: Scope the assessment and set objectives.
  • Data Gathering: Collect security control details (administrative, technical, physical).
  • Risk Analysis: Evaluate threats, vulnerabilities, and potential impact.
  • Risk Mitigation: Recommend safeguards to reduce risk.
  • Reporting & Resolution: Deliver findings and action plans to stakeholders.

This security risk assessment training teaches the RIIOT method to execute these steps effectively.

The three core types are:

  • Physical Risks: Unauthorized access, theft, or damage to hardware/facilities.
  • Technical Risks: Cyber threats (hacking, malware, data breaches).
  • Administrative Risks: Weak policies, human error, or compliance gaps.

The course covers 200+ controls across all three categories.

This cybersecurity risk management course is the fastest way to master it:

  • Step-by-step training: From basics to advanced techniques (like RIIOT FRAME).
  • Hands-on exercises: Practice with gamified practice tests, packed with performance-based questions. 
  • Proven methods: Used by CIA, NSA, and NATO.
