(Things that give away the information/ways information on our activities can be retrieved)

Assessment of Risks

(If the adversary acquires information, what is the risk/level of damage the adversary could inflict?)

Low – Medium –High Risk

Application of Countermeasures

(What actions are we taking to reduce the risk?)

Assessment of Risk After Application of Countermeasures

EXAMPLE

My family is going on vacation and the house will be unattended

EXAMPLE

There are many kids in the neighborhood and the neighborhood is not gated. There has been a rash of break-ins four streets over.

EXAMPLE

Newspapers stacking up in driveway

Mail collecting in mailbox

House is dark at night

EXAMPLE

Medium to high risk

EXAMPLE

Have neighbor collect our newspapers daily

Have post office hold mail until we return

Purchase 10 light timers, setting each in a different room so that lights are coming on and going off all night until bedtime

EXAMPLE

Low to medium (acceptable risk)
