Identifying Threats is one of the most important things to do before building a risk assessment. To accomplish that, it is recommended to use risk factors. In those risk factors, identifying vulnerabilities of threats that may happen is the first step. If our risk model allows some threats through we must understand that there can’t be a 100% secure system, but the risk model should define those exceptions.

For example, if one of our administrators is allowed to have access to the HR-Operations system, then the risk level of that asset will be higher because there is a hole in that system. If that user is not trained properly in information security awareness, then the system is condemned to be breached somehow.
