Risk scenarios

In its classic version, PILAR associates ICT threats with system assets, threats that affect ICT dimensions (confidentiality, integrity, etc.) and calculates the mitigating effect of ICT security measures to estimate residual risk.

The same approach can be applied in wider scenarios. In what follows we will apply it to the legal aspects (legal risk) of the assets that have value because of their personal character.

The approach is to associate threats on the legal aspects of the processing of personal data and apply measures that address such threats.

The value is determined by the valuation of the asset in the privacy dimension. The threat must be identified together with its impact on the value of the asset and the estimated probability of occurrence (ARO). The measures that are adopted reduce the risk. All this within the unified framework for estimating potential and residual risks.
