Quick Start: Prepare
Be clear about what you are assessing.
- Is it your current situation, or a future one?
- Is it your manufacturing site, or the the one where your product will be used?
Be ready to organise the information you will be gathering:
- What valuable assets you have. In simple cases a paper and pen will do; consider using a spreadsheet or a table.
- How your “cyber space” is arranged. Again, in simple cases a paper and pen, or powerpoint or similar; consider using professional network diagramming software
Find out who to ask about:
- Your assets - who uses what? Probably ‘users’
- Your computer networks - what is on it? Where is it? Probably technical staff
- Your “Risk Appetite” - what do you care about or not? Probably managers
In many cases the answers to ‘who?’ might be ‘you!’
