The description will clarify the threat/vulnerability type and include the actors, events, assets, and time issues. Risk Type Describe the risk type, include whether the risk type is primary or secondary, i.e., a higher or lower degree of fit. Risk Types: IT Benefit/Value Enablement: Associated with [missed] opportunities to use technology to improve efficiency or effectiveness of business processes, or as an enabler for new business initiatives o Technology enabler for new business initiatives o Technology enabler for efficient operations IT Programme and Project Delivery: Associated with the contribution of IT to new or improved business solutions, usually in the form of projects and programmes as part of investment portfolios. o Project quality o Project relevance o Project overrun IT Operations and Service Delivery: Associated with all aspects of the business as usual performance of IT systems and services, which can bring destruction or reduction of value to the enterprise. o IT service interruptions o Security problems o Compliance issues</p><p>Risk Response</p><p>Describe how the enterprise will respond to the risk. The purpose of defining a risk response is to bring risk in line with the defined risk tolerance for the enterprise: Risk Acceptance Risk Sharing/Transfer Risk Mitigation Risk Avoidance</p><p>Risk Mitigation using COBIT 5 Enablers (see Appendix 4 – page 219 in Final Dev Draft C5 for Risk) Describe how the enterprise will work to avoid the risk from materializing. For Risk Mitigation possibilities use COBIT 5 Management Practices (Enablers). Please provide the following information: Reference, title and description of one or more concrete enablers that can help to mitigate the risk The estimated effect that implementing this enabler will have on the frequency and impact of the risk. Use either Low, Medium or High. Based on the two parameters frequency and impact give an indication whether this enabler is ‘essential’ (Key management practice to mitigate the risk) or not. An enabler is considered essential if it has a high effect on reducing either impact or frequency of the scenario.</p><p>Process Title Management Effect Effect Essential Referenc Practice On On e Frequency Impac t</p>
