1 Introduction
Typically, an organisation will focus on, and allocate resources to, ICS security due to:
• The detection of a security breach
• The requirement to conform to a compliance mandate
• The outcome of a risk assessment
Developing a secure ICS architecture based on the principles introduced in Module 4 – ICS Cyber Security Architecture will not in itself be sufficient to ensure ongoing protection. As time goes by, new vulnerabilities will be discovered in various ICS components, and new risks may be introduced through changes to work practices, to the infrastructure itself, or to the environment in which the ICS operates. For this reason, it is critical to have in place a corporate risk management framework, which incorporates

2 A Risk Management Framework
As outlined in the International Organization for Standardization ISO/IEC 31000:2009 standard, “the success of risk management will depend on the effectiveness of the management framework providing the foundations and arrangements that will embed it throughout the organization at all levels” .
Once committed to the creation of a risk management framework, the implementation and maintenance of the framework consists of a number of general steps, as defined in the ISO/IEC 31000:2009 standard:
1. Designing and implementing a risk management framework
2. Implementing a risk management process, which will include risk assessment
3. Monitoring and reviewing the risk management framework
4. Continually improving the framework
Figure 1: A Risk Management Framework
The design and implementation of a risk management framework should align with the business objectives of the organisation, and a commitment to the program from senior management is crucial. The alignment process can be clarified by defining the business rationale of the organisation. According to the ISA-62443-2-1 standard , developing a business rationale for the unique needs of the organisation includes:
• Identifying and prioritising the business consequences should ICS security be compromised;
• Prioritising potential threats that are deemed credible;
• Determining their business impact of the most serious consequences; and
• Estimating the cost of countermeasures.

Write an initial draft of the risk management plan as detailed in the instructions above.
Make risk management an integral part of your organization’s management approach. Emphasize the need to communicate and consult with both external and internal stakeholders, Continuously monitor and review your organization’s risk management process (including SOC playbooks and CSIRT response scenarios).
The civil jury system is one of the most important facets of American life and liberty. It is an important agent of democracy and has been since the beginning of history. However, today many threats to the civil jury system are arising, ranging from judicial issues to outside pressures as well. The civil jury system is one of the most important agents in protecting the civil rights of all citizens, so its demise would have a devastating impact on all Americans. It is imperative that people fight to preserve the civil jury system for future generation, because it is their civic duty to do so.
For any company, risk management is an important strategy to have in place. There are a number of factors that need to be reviewed in order to decrease the risk of failure. A presence of a Risk management program would not only set the framework into place to save time, money, and rework but also increases the chance of success for that particular company.
When considering risk management, you must state legal and regulatory framework. You must identify in order to follow and meet the requirements for the Security Risk Management Plan
For as long as he could remember Jimmy had been an outcast. He had hoped for a fresh start at his new school. He also hoped that what he did over the summer would be obsolete. As Jimmy walked into school carrying a beige notebook, he recognized some people from the summer cape he had gone to. His mother had forced him to go to science camp over the summer, which he absolutely despised. He started to wonder if his peers would remember anything about his past.
What’s one of the main actions of a religious person, regardless of either being Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, or Baptist? Going to church, of course! However, there are some Catholics that don’t attend Holy Mass, which is the Catholic’s version of “church”. Many Catholics and Christians, over the years, have gradually declined to attend every Sunday Mass. Priests and clergy, as well as the Catholic Church Herself, have tried to institute the importance of attending Mass every Sunday. If only all of the unfaithful, Christians, and Catholics knew the value and importance of our obligatory Sunday Mass, surely then they would live up to the obligation. Every Catholic, devout or obscure, should be attending Mass every Sunday in order to follow God’s law, to give thanks for God’s goodness, and to receive God’s graces.

A risk assessment is something that is produced to help carry out a risk assessment of what might cause harm to the service users and what needs to be carried out in order to avoid the risks from taking place . It is something by law that is expected for all the workplace to carry out. This links in with the HSAWA as every workplace when opening up a business they need to follow the rules and regulation in order to keep the environment safe as well as the employees. When creating risk assessments it’s about producing a table of which identifies all the possible hazards that could take place in the workplace. Every workplace must produce a risk assessment and by creating this you are pointing out all the risk that could
Risk management is the term applied to a logical and systematic method of establishing the context, identifying, analyzing, evaluating, treating, monitoring and communicating risks associated with any activity, function or process in a way that will enable organizations to minimize losses and maximize opportunities. (Lecture notes)Risk Management is also described as 'all the things you need to do to make the future sufficiently certain'. (The NZ Society for Risk Management, 2001)
If we consider any nation, its most vulnerable if its financial and economic security is compromised. Cyber security has a profound impact on a nation by making it susceptible to outside threats. It can have a drastic effect on a Nation’s wealth, military, public health. Such threats also impact company’s progress by driving up costs and and impeding its growth leading to decrease in its customer base. The President of United States devised a policy to tackle such cybersecurity threats. This led into development of Cybersecurity Framework, a collection of industry procedures, standards and methods to help organizations and companies deal in an event of a cybersecurity threat.
• describe the scope for risk management process that you will conduct – explain why you decided
• describe what level and type of support you need in order for your risk management plan to be effective and discuss the strategies that you will use in order to obtain that support
Once the plan is under way, management along with the IT team will identify all threats and hazards to the network, ascertain possible impact to the company, classify threats and vulnerabilities and create strategies to mitigate the plan. There are typically eight steps in conducting a proper risk assessment.
The first process in the risk management is Risk Assessment. Risk Assessment is used to determine the risk associated with the organization. The output of the risk assessment is helpful in identifying the controls for reducing or eliminating the risk .
