Risk assessment is the cornerstone of security.  The risk assessment process includes gathering information about the assets of the organizations, including all information assets, and all physical assets.

In addition, the risk assessment process includes finding sources for threat data, which may be gathered from internal sources such as incident reports and  intrusion detection reports. It may also include threat data such as crime statistics, industry standards and benchmarking data, and historical data about what has happened in the organization, and in the general industry segment.
