A comprehensive methodology for identifying, assessing, and mitigating security threats to organizational assets, operations, and stakeholders.
Full definition
A security risk management framework establishes the principles, processes, and organizational structures for managing security risks across physical, cyber, and information domains. It typically includes risk identification, threat and vulnerability assessment, control selection, implementation, and continuous monitoring activities. Organizations customize frameworks to align with their specific threat landscape and risk tolerance. A multinational corporation might implement such a framework to coordinate security measures across global facilities, covering everything from access control and surveillance to insider threat programs and third-party vendor security assessments.
