Program Plan Intro

Single Loss Expectancy:

  • The expected monetary loss every time a risk occurs is called the Single Loss Expectancy.
  • The Single Loss Expectancy (SLE), Exposure Factor (EF) and Asset Value (AV) are related by the formula:
    • SLE = EF * AV
  • Introducing this conceptual breakdown of Single Loss Expectancy into Exposure Factor and Asset Value allows us to adjust the two terms independently and is related to risk management and risk assessment.
  • Asset Value may vary with market changes, inflation while Exposure Factor can be reduced by enabling preventive measures.

Annualized Loss Expectancy:

  • The product of the single loss expectancy (SLE) and the Annual Rate of Occurrence (ARO) give Annualized Loss Expectancy (ALE).
  • It is mathematically expressed as:
    • ALE = SLE * ARO
  • The important feature of Annualized Loss Expectancy is that it can be used directly in a cost- benefit analysis.

An internal auditor at the ACME Corporation recently performed a PCI DSS compliance audit on the company’s production systems and identified three instances of non-compliance. As the risk owner, you were assigned all three risks in the SimpleRisk application. You have already completed a risk mitigation plan for one of the risks, but in your haste to address the issue, you neglected to complete the risk mitigation form in SimpleRisk for the other two. In this section of the lab, you will review and complete the risk mitigation form for each of the remaining risks.   Your security recommendations should include both technical and procedural mitigation actions. If necessary, use the Internet to research best practices for managing user accounts on a Windows Server 2019 domain controller.
