(FACTOR ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION RISK)
Basic Risk Assessment Guide
FAIR™ Basic Risk Assessment Guide
All Content Copyright Risk Management Insight, LLC
NOTE: Before using this assessment guide…
Using this guide effectively requires a solid understanding of
FAIR concepts
‣ As with any high-level analysis method, results can depend
upon variables that may not be accounted for at
this level of abstraction
‣ The loss magnitude scale described in this section is adjusted
for a specific organizational size and risk
capacity. Labels used in the scale (e.g., “Severe”, “Low”, etc.)
may need to be adjusted when analyzing
organizations of different sizes
‣ This process is a simplified, introductory version that may not
be appropriate for some analyses
Basic FAIR analysis is comprised of ten steps in four stages:
Stage 1 – Identify scenario components
1. Identify the asset at risk
2. Identify the threat community under consideration
Stage 2 – Evaluate Loss Event Frequency (LEF)
3. Estimate the probable Threat Event Frequency (TEF)
4. Estimate the Threat Capability (TCap)
5. Estimate Control strength (CS)
6. Derive Vulnerability (Vuln)
7. Derive Loss Event Frequency (LEF)
Stage 3 – Evaluate Probable Loss Magnitude (PLM)
8. Estimate worst-case loss
9. Estimate probable loss
Stage 4 – Derive and articulate Risk
10. Derive and articulate Risk

Stage 1 – Identify Scenario Components
Step 1 – Identify the Asset(s) at risk
In order to estimate the control and value characteristics within
a risk analysis, the analyst must first identify the asset
(object) under evaluation. If a multilevel analysis is being
performed, the analyst will need to identify and evaluate the
primary asset (object) at risk and all meta-objects that exist
between the primary asset and the threat community. This
guide is intended for use in simple, single level risk analysis,
and does not describe the additional steps required for a
multilevel analysis.
Asset(s) at risk:
_____________________________________________________
_
Step 2 – Identify the Threat Community
In order to estimate Threat Event Frequency (TEF) and Threat
Capability (TCap), a specific threat community must first be
identified. At minimum, when evaluating the risk associated
with malicious acts, the analyst has to decide whether the
threat community is human or malware, and internal or external.
In most circumstances, it’s appropriate to define the
threat community more specifically – e.g., network engineers,
cleaning crew, etc., and characterize the expected nature
of the community. This document does not include guidance in
how to perform broad-spectrum (i.e., multi-threat
community) analyses.
Threat community:

Stage 2 – Evaluate Loss Event Frequency
Step 3 – Threat Event Frequency (TEF)
The probable frequency, within a given timeframe, that a threat
agent will act against an asset
Contributing factors: Contact Frequency, Probability of Action
Very High (VH) > 100 times per year
High (H) Between 10 and 100 times per year
Moderate (M) Between 1 and 10 times per year
Low (L) Between .1 and 1 times per year
Very Low (VL) < .1 times per year (less than once every ten
years)
Rationale
FAIR™ Basic Risk Assessment Guide
All Content Copyright Risk Management Insight, LLC
Step 4 – Threat Capability (Tcap)
The probable level of force that a threat agent is capable of
applying against an asset
Contributing factors: Skill, Resources
Very High (VH) Top 2% when compared against the overall
threat population
High (H) Top 16% when compared against the overall threat
population
Moderate (M) Average skill and resources (between bottom 16%
and top 16%)
Low (L) Bottom 16% when compared against the overall threat
population
Very Low (VL) Bottom 2% when compared against the overall
threat population
Rationale
FAIR™ Basic Risk Assessment Guide
All Content Copyright Risk Management Insight, LLC
Step 5 – Control strength (CS)
The expected effectiveness of controls, over a given timeframe,
as measured against a baseline
level of force
Contributing factors: Strength, Assurance
Very High (VH) Protects against all but the top 2% of an avg.
threat population
High (H) Protects against all but the top 16% of an avg. threat
population
Moderate (M) Protects against the average threat agent
Low (L) Only protects against bottom 16% of an avg. threat
population
Very Low (VL) Only protects against bottom 2% of an avg.
threat population

of a threat agent

Stage 3 – Evaluate Probable Loss Magnitude
Step 8 – Estimate worst-case loss
Estimate worst-case magnitude using the following three steps:
‣ Determine the threat action that would most likely result in a
worst-case outcome
‣ Estimate the magnitude for each loss form associated with that
threat action
‣ “Sum” the loss form magnitudes

‣ Evaluate the probable loss magnitude for each loss form

Stage 4 – Derive and Articulate Risk
Step 10 – Derive and Articulate Risk
The probable frequency and probable magnitude of future loss
Well-articulated risk analyses provide decision-makers with at
least two key pieces of information:
‣ The estimated loss event frequency (LEF), and
‣ The estimated probable loss magnitude (PLM)
This information can be conveyed through text, charts, or both.
In most circumstances, it’s advisable to also provide the
estimated high-end loss potential so that the decision-maker is
aware of what the worst-case scenario might look like.
Depending upon the scenario, additional specific information
may be warranted if, for example:
‣ Significant due diligence exposure exists
‣ Significant reputation, legal, or regulatory considerations exist

  • 1. Risk Management Insight FAIR (FACTOR ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION RISK) Basic Risk Assessment Guide FAIR™ Basic Risk Assessment Guide All Content Copyright Risk Management Insight, LLC NOTE: Before using this assessment guide… Using this guide effectively requires a solid understanding of FAIR concepts ‣ As with any high-level analysis method, results can depend upon variables that may not be accounted for at this level of abstraction ‣ The loss magnitude scale described in this section is adjusted for a specific organizational size and risk capacity. Labels used in the scale (e.g., “Severe”, “Low”, etc.) may need to be adjusted when analyzing organizations of different sizes ‣ This process is a simplified, introductory version that may not be appropriate for some analyses
  • 2. Basic FAIR analysis is comprised of ten steps in four stages: Stage 1 – Identify scenario components 1. Identify the asset at risk 2. Identify the threat community under consideration Stage 2 – Evaluate Loss Event Frequency (LEF) 3. Estimate the probable Threat Event Frequency (TEF) 4. Estimate the Threat Capability (TCap) 5. Estimate Control strength (CS) 6. Derive Vulnerability (Vuln) 7. Derive Loss Event Frequency (LEF) Stage 3 – Evaluate Probable Loss Magnitude (PLM) 8. Estimate worst-case loss 9. Estimate probable loss Stage 4 – Derive and articulate Risk 10. Derive and articulate Risk Risk Loss Event Frequency Probable Loss

  • 4. Stage 1 – Identify Scenario Components Step 1 – Identify the Asset(s) at risk In order to estimate the control and value characteristics within a risk analysis, the analyst must first identify the asset (object) under evaluation. If a multilevel analysis is being performed, the analyst will need to identify and evaluate the primary asset (object) at risk and all meta-objects that exist between the primary asset and the threat community. This guide is intended for use in simple, single level risk analysis, and does not describe the additional steps required for a multilevel analysis. Asset(s) at risk: _____________________________________________________ _ Step 2 – Identify the Threat Community In order to estimate Threat Event Frequency (TEF) and Threat Capability (TCap), a specific threat community must first be identified. At minimum, when evaluating the risk associated with malicious acts, the analyst has to decide whether the threat community is human or malware, and internal or external. In most circumstances, it’s appropriate to define the
