A method , characterized in that it comprises: assigning a respective risk index value to each of a plurality of devices based on a respective location of each of the plurality of devices ; storing the respective risk index value of each of the plurality of devices in a memory device ; identifying a fault in some of the plurality of devices ; identifying the location of the faulty devices; retrieving , from the memory device , the respective risk index value of the faulty devices and the value of the assets protected by the faulty devices based on their identified location; prioritizing respective faults of the faulty devices based on the identified respective risk index values and values of assets protected; identifying a baseline recipient and a baseline communication medium; determining whether a level of the baseline recipient or the baseline communication medium does appropriately coincide with the identified respective risk index values and values of assets protected of the plurality of devices in fault; when the levels are inappropriate, escalating or de-escalating the baseline recipient and the baseline communication medium to a different recipient and a different communication medium appropriate for the identified respective risk index values and values of assets protected of the plurality of devices in fault; and transmitting a notification message indicative of the prioritized respective faults of the faulty devices to the different recipient using the different communication medium; and when the levels are appropriate, transmitting the notification message indicative of the prioritizing and the respective faults of the faulty devices to the baseline recipient using the baseline communication medium. assigning a respective risk index value to each of a plurality of devices based on a respective location of each of the plurality of devices ; storing the respective risk index value of each of the plurality of devices in a memory device ; identifying a fault in some of the plurality of devices ; identifying the location of the faulty devices; retrieving , from the memory device , the respective risk index value of the faulty devices and the value of the assets protected by the faulty devices based on their identified location; prioritizing respective faults of the faulty devices based on the identified respective risk index values and values of assets protected; identifying a baseline recipient and a baseline communication medium; determining whether a level of the baseline recipient or the baseline communication medium does appropriately coincide with the identified respective risk index values and values of assets protected of the plurality of devices in fault; when the levels are inappropriate, escalating or de-escalating the baseline recipient and the baseline communication medium to a different recipient and a different communication medium appropriate for the identified respective risk index values and values of assets protected of the plurality of devices in fault; and transmitting a notification message indicative of the prioritized respective faults of the faulty devices to the different recipient using the different communication medium; and escalating or de-escalating the baseline recipient and the baseline communication medium to a different recipient and a different communication medium appropriate for the identified respective risk index values and values of assets protected of the plurality of devices in fault; and transmitting a notification message indicative of the prioritized respective faults of the faulty devices to the different recipient using the different communication medium; and when the levels are appropriate, transmitting the notification message indicative of the prioritizing and the respective faults of the faulty devices to the baseline recipient using the baseline communication medium. <EOS>
