Methodology for evaluating usage and comparison of risk assessment and risk management items
Deliverable 2 Version 1 Date: 26/04/2007 Deliverable 2
1 Concept and Purpose
The ENISA ad-hoc working group on risk assessment and management (referred to in this document as “the Working Group”) has determined a methodology to allow direct comparison between items that enable organizations to perform risk assessment and risk management. The methodology considers the processes of risk assessment and management items, together with the inputs and outputs to these, and scores these against a benchmark set of processes, inputs and outputs, as determined by the Working Group. The purpose of the methodology is to allow one or both of the following to be performed: • Determination of the most appropriate risk assessment and management items for use by organizations in a range of given circumstances; such as their business sector, size, culture, legal, regulatory and governance requirements, as well as the sophistication of their risk management approach and the resources available to them. • Direct comparison between two or more risk assessment or management items in order to permit expert advice to be given on their suitability for use in particular circumstances.

Deliverable 2 Term Definition Use case A set of defined circumstances under which an item (qv) might be used; determined by the user’s business sector, size, culture, legal, regulatory and governance requirements, sophistication of its risk management approach, available resources and other factors.
3 Benchmark processes, inputs and outputs
The Working Group has defined a benchmark set of the possible processes, inputs and outputs that organizations might expect to see incorporated into items used in the assessment and management of information risk; these are referred to in the rest of this paper as “the Benchmark”. The Benchmark has been compiled from the range of items studied by the Working Group, and is based on both the experience of Working Group members and on the process described on the ENISA website (www.enisa.europa.eu/rmra/rm_process.html). The Benchmark is shown in Annex A of this document. The Benchmark divides risk assessment and management into the following five stages and 15 processes: • Stage A: Definition of scope and framework: o P.1 Definition of external environment o P.2 Definition of internal environment o P.3 Generation of risk management context o P.4 Formulation of impact limit criteria • Stage B: Risk assessment: o P.5 Identification of risks o P.6 Analysis of relevant risks o P.7 Evaluation of risks • Stage C: Risk treatment: o P.8 Identification of options o P.9 Development of action plan o P.10 Approval of action plan o P.11 Implementation of action plan o P.12 Identification of residual risks • Stage D: Risk acceptance o P.13 Risk acceptance • Stage E: Risk monitoring and review o P.14 Risk monitoring and reporting • Stage F: Risk communication, awareness and consulting o P.15 Risk communication, awareness and consulting

Deliverable 2 It is possible to “characterise” an item in relation to the Benchmark by comparing an item’s processes, inputs and outputs with their equivalents as described in the Benchmark at Annex A. This is done using the methodology explained in section 4 below. Characterisation of items enables an organization to perform one or more of the following functions: 1. Determine the suitability of a characterised item as it relates the overall requirements of the organization, by referring to the “use cases” discussed in section 5. 2. Characterise a particular item to determine if is suitable for use in specific circumstances, as discussed in section 6. 3. Objectively compare two or more characterised items in order to see their relative strengths and weaknesses, as discussed in section 7.
4 Characterisation methodology
Characterisation of an item is undertaken by comparing a description of the item with the descriptions given in the Benchmark at Annex A. An item is characterised by evaluating it in relation to the Benchmark. The evaluation is made by assigning a score to the item’s processes, and to the inputs and outputs of those processes, according to the degree of convergence these have to their equivalents in the Benchmark. The scores for processes should be determined using table 1. Score Convergence of item process with equivalent Benchmark process 0 Process not mentioned at all 1 Process described as part of the item with an external process referenced 2 Process described in some detail with simple instructions 3 Process very highly detailed and exhaustive Table 1: Scoring for processes If an item’s processes are considered to occupy a position that is intermediate between the descriptions above, an intermediate score (such as 1.5) may be given. The scores for inputs and outputs to and from processes should be determined using table 2. Score Convergence of item’s input/output with equivalent Benchmark input/output 0 Input/output not mentioned at all 1 Input/output described with reference to an external process 2 Input/output described in some detail with simple instructions 3 Input/output described in great detail with exhaustive instructions Table 2: Scoring for inputs to, and outputs from processes Again, if the inputs or outputs are considered to occupy a position that is intermediate between the descriptions above, an intermediate score (such as 1.5) may be given. It will be seen that an item can be characterised on the basis of an evaluation of its processes, or of its inputs or its outputs. For broad comparison purposes, characterisation on the basis of ENISA ad hoc working group on risk assessment and risk management 5 / 61 Deliverable 2 processes will be sufficient. This will enable an “alignment profile” to be drawn on the basis of the scores for each of the 15 processes. On the other hand, characterising an item on the basis of an evaluation of the inputs to, or outputs from, its processes, will give a more granular result. In this case an alignment profile should be produced for individual processes. Once an item has been evaluated according to the scoring systems described above, an alignment profile can be produced, by plotting the scores for each process on a radar chart. Examples of such alignment profiles for processes in the IT-Grundschutz methodology from the German BSI are given in figures 1 to 3. Please note that these figures are derived from Annex B, which shows the entire IT-Grundschutz methodology compared with the Benchmark. An alignment profile for the processes of the entire IT-Grundschutz methodology is given in figure 1. Figure 2 shows the alignment profile for inputs to process P.5 (identification of risks) for IT- Grundschutz and figure 3 for the IT-Grundschutz outputs from the same process. It will be recognised that the two alignment profiles are different, indicating that the process has some variations in its requirements for input and in the degree of output that it produces. This variability could be of significance when selecting an item for a particular use (see sections 6 and 7 below). It will be noted that the axes of the chart have been scaled to start at -1, this is to avoid the problem of ‘blank’ cells should a process have a zero score.

5 Determining overall organizational requirements
Organizations may wish to determine their overall requirement for a risk assessment and management methodology by considering a number of “use cases”. An organization wishing to do this should look at the examples given in table 3 below. The Working Group has identified five use cases. These are listed in table 3, together with examples of the type of organization that might be typical of each use case and a brief description of the risk assessment and management (RA/RM) requirements that might be appropriate to each type of organization. Nr Type Example RA/RM Requirements 1 Small business, where Small shop, small Understand critical business Internet usage is not part of professional consultancy assets, threats and the business processes. No businesses (including law, vulnerabilities. dedicated IT-resources. architecture etc.) Plan and implement appropriate countermeasures 2 Small to medium-sized Small e-commerce Understand critical business business with more businesses, small media assets, threats and extensive Internet usage, businesses vulnerabilities and conduct a where Internet is core to the risk analysis. business process Plan and implement appropriate countermeasures.

Apply welldefined and clearly communicated processes and procedures for risk assessment and risk management as well as detailed monitoring, auditing and communication processes for both internal and external use. Table 3: Use cases for risk assessment and risk management The Working Group has evaluated scores for the processes that would be appropriate to each of the five use cases described above. These scores have been used to produce a series of alignment profiles for processes that are illustrated in the radar diagrams in sections 5.1 to 5.5 below. These alignment profiles are illustrative only. It is intended that users compare the alignment profile that is most appropriate to their circumstances to those of a range of items (for example see section 7). This will enable them to make a preliminary selection of the item, or items, that might be most appropriate to their circumstances. However, organizations are expected to refine this process by producing their own individual alignment profile. Using this, a more accurate selection of items can be made. 5.1 Small business with limited Internet usage Figure 4 shows a process alignment profile for this use case. The requirements of a small business are based on the following assumptions: • The external IT risk is low, because the Internet is not core to the business, and can be simply managed using “off-the-shelf” technology and the internal environment is simple due to the small size of the business. The risk management context and impact limit criteria are therefore obvious to the management, and do not require extensive analysis. • Identification and analysis of risks, however, may be more complex as a result of limited understanding of the IT systems in use. • Evaluation of risks, identification of options, definition of action plan and approval are easily and simply achieved by the small number of individuals involved. Although implementation of an action plan requires that some procedures need to be defined and implemented. • Identification of residual risks and risk acceptance can be carried out easily and simply by the small number of individuals involved. • Risk communication, awareness and consulting can be implemented intuitively, well defined processes are not therefore required.

Deliverable 2 Figure 4: Alignment profile for use case 1: Small business with simple Internet usage 5.2 Small to medium-sized business with more extensive Internet usage Figure 5 shows a process alignment profile for this use case. The requirements of a small to medium-sized enterprise, in which the Internet is business-critical, are based on the following assumptions: • The external IT risk is higher, because the Internet is business-critical and the internal IT risk is higher, because IT systems are business-critical. The risk management context must therefore be more carefully analysed and the impact limit criteria must be more precisely determined in relation to the business. • Identification and analysis of risks will also be more complex because of the business’s dependency on IT systems, which may be more complex than can be easily managed. • Evaluation of risks and identification of options are not evident and need defined, reliable processes and procedures. • Because of its complexity, the action plan should be developed by specialists, with formal approval by management. • Implementation of action plan requires the use of defined, reliable processes and procedures. • Identification of residual risks must be carried out carefully, to safeguard business-critical systems. • Risk acceptance processes and procedures are simple because of the small size of the organization. • Risk monitoring and reporting must be reliable, but need not be complex because of the small size of the organization.

Deliverable 2 • Communication, awareness and consulting will also be relatively simple because of the small size of the organization. Figure 5: Alignment profile for use case 2: Small to medium-sized business with more complex Internet usage 5.3 Medium-sized private business with simple governance requirements Figure 6 shows a process alignment profile for this use case. The requirements of a medium-sized private business with simple governance requirements are based on the following assumptions: • The external and internal IT risk is somewhat higher as a result of the business size and complexity. This accordingly demands more complex analysis of the risk management context and defined processes and procedures to determine the impact limit criteria and provide comparability. • The size and complexity of the business will also require more complex identification, analysis and evaluation of risks, together with clearly defined, reliable processes and procedures. • The size and greater complexity of the organization may also require specialist input into the development of the action plan, as well as clearly defined approval procedures for it. • Implementation of action plan will require a clearly defined roll-out and associated control procedures • The size and greater complexity of the organization also require more careful identification of residual risks and a clearly defined process for risk acceptance. • As a result of the size and greater complexity of the organization, risk monitoring and reporting processes and procedures will be needed, as will improved risk communication, awareness and consulting.

Deliverable 2 Figure 6: Alignment profile for use case 3: Medium-sized business with simple governance requirements 5.4 Medium to large-sized business with more complex governance requirements Figure 7 shows a process alignment profile for this use case. The requirements of a medium-tolarge-sized, publicly-quoted company are based on the following assumptions: • External and internal IT risks are highly complex, requiring precise analysis of the risk management context and well-defined impact limit criteria. • Identification and analysis of risks are complex and have to be carried out carefully. • Evaluation of risks and identification of options are also complex, requiring well defined processes and procedures. • The action plan must be developed by specialists and will require well-defined and clearly set-out approval procedures, which must be auditable. • Implementation of action plan requires the definition of clearly defined roll-out and control procedures. • The identification of residual risks must be subject to well defined, auditable procedures and decisions on risk acceptance must follow traceable, reproducible and auditable processes and procedures. • Processes and procedures for risk monitoring and reporting must be well defined and auditable. • Processes for risk communication, awareness and consulting must be clear, well implemented and auditable.

The requirements of a large-sized business with rigorous governance requirements are based on the assumption that the size, complexity and audit requirements of such organizations will require that the utmost attention should be paid to all aspects of risk assessment and management. It is therefore assumed that such an organization will have detailed and complex requirements for processes in all three stages.

6 Identification of an item for specific use
An alignment profile can be drawn for any item. This can then be used to determine if an item is most suitable for a use case relevant to a particular organization. Or to an organization’s own required alignment profile, which might (for example) be determined by its individual ability to provide inputs and/or outputs to an RA/RM methodology. As examples: figure 9 shows the alignment profile for the processes of NIST SP 800-30; figure 10 shows the alignment profile for the processes of Dutch A&K Analysis and; figure 11 shows the alignment profile for the processes of ISO/IEC 17799:2005. Annex B contains tables showing the full comparison between the NIST, Dutch A&K and ISO 17799 methodologies and the Benchmark. A description of these items, and IT-Grundschutz (whose alignment profiles are shown in figures 1 to 3), can be found at the ENISA website under: http://www.enisa.europa.eu/rmra/rm_ra_methods.html. Organizations may also wish to select particular processes from different items in order to perform specific functions. For example, although a smaller organization may feel it appropriate to use the NIST methodology overall, it may decide that its circumstances require a more detailed analysis of its risk identification (P.5). In which case it would look at the alignment profiles for the inputs and outputs to that particular process for a number of other items. An example of a comparison of inputs and outputs to a particular process is discussed in the next section (see figures 12 and 13). Figure 9: Alignment profile of NIST SP 800-30 processes

7 Direct Comparison between items
Alignment profiles for two or more items can also be used to compare the relative coverage of those items. At figure 12 is a comparison between the alignment profiles of IT-Grundschutz processes and NIST SP 800-30 processes. Figure 12: Comparison of alignment profiles of IT-Grundschutz and NIST processes Figure 12 clearly shows that the coverage of the IT-Grundschutz methodology is far broader and deeper than that of NIST, and should therefore be considered for use by large organizations, as comparison with figures 7 and 8 would indicate. However, it also shows that the NIST methodology would probably be better suited to deployment by small- or medium-sized businesses, as comparison with figures 4 and 5 will indicate. More granular comparison between items can take place at the level of inputs to, and outputs from, processes. Figure 13 compares the inputs to P.5 for IT-Grundschutz and NIST and Figure 14 shows the comparison for the outputs of P.5 for the same two methodologies.

Deliverable 2 Organizations will be able to use comparisons, such as those illustrated in figures 13 and 14, to help determine which process from which items are likely to best meet their requirements, as discussed in section 6. In this example, for instance, it is clear that an organization which wished to justify why it had disregarded certain threats and vulnerabilities would have to use IT- Grundschutz for process P.5, in preference to NIST.
