A Threat, Risk, and Vulnerability Assessment (TRVA) takes into account the client's requirement to safeguard people and assets, limit exposure to crime and terrorism, security breaches, and overall company risk. This process should be conducted regularly to identify threats, assess risks, and update countermeasures. During a TRVA, information about individuals, groups, organizations, facilities, equipment, materials, processes, and systems is collected through interviews with those who know them best-usually staff members who work with or around the subject of the assessment. This information is used to determine whether there are any threats or vulnerabilities that should be addressed immediately, such as in a Crisis Management Plan (CMP). If necessary, appropriate actions should be taken to reduce risks. This includes but is not limited to: changing passwords, updating software, etc. Threats include acts of violence, vandalism, theft, arson, natural disasters, explosions, fires, chemicals releases, and other incidents that could harm the organization or its customers, employees, partners, or suppliers. Vulnerabilities include the presence of conditions that make an organization susceptible to threats. Examples include unprotected computers connected to the internet, default passwords, and outdated security measures.
