Details

This download includes NIST SP 800-30 r1 guide for Conducting Risk Assessments. The purpose of Special Publication 800-30 is to provide guidance for conducting risk assessments of federal information systems and organizations, amplifying the guidance in Special Publication 800-39.

This special publication project contains chapter 3 which describes the process of assessing information security risk including:

  • a high-level overview of the risk assessment process;
  • the activities necessary to prepare for a risk assessment;
  • the activities necessary to conduct a risk assessment;
  • the activities necessary to communicate risk assessment results and share risk-related information across the organization; and
  • the activities necessary to maintain the results of risk assessments.

Risk assessments, carried out at all three tiers in the risk management hierarchy, are part of an overall risk management process—providing senior leaders/executives with the information needed to determine appropriate courses of action in response to identified risks. In particular, this document provides guidance for carrying out each of the steps in the risk assessment process (i.e., preparing for the assessment, conducting the assessment, communicating the results of the assessment, and maintaining the assessment) and how risk assessments and other organizational risk management processes complement and inform each other.

Special Publication 800-30 also provides guidance to organizations on identifying specific risk factors to monitor on an ongoing basis, so that organizations can determine whether risks have increased to unacceptable levels (i.e., exceeding organizational risk tolerance) and whether different courses of action should be taken.
