2. Conduct vulnerability scanning and penetration testing
3. Analyze results to determine likelihood and impact of threats

Phase 4: Risk Prioritization

1. Determine risk level for each asset (e.g., high, medium, low)
2. Prioritize risks based on severity and likelihood
3. Develop a risk mitigation plan

Phase 5: Control Identification and Evaluation

1. Identify existing security controls (e.g., firewalls, antivirus software)
2. Evaluate the effectiveness of controls
3. Determine gaps in control coverage

Phase 6: Risk Treatment

1. Implement new or enhanced controls to mitigate risks
