Risk Management Frameworks and Processes

Start with a process map

Begin with the mind map “Process” for an overview of how the listed resources describe risk management. It covers establishing the context, assessing risk, treating risk, keeping stakeholders informed and monitoring. Use its branches to make a short outline before moving to more detailed material.

Next, look at “Risk Management Process”. It includes identifying and prioritizing assets, as well as identifying vulnerabilities and threats. Compare its outline with “Process” to see how each map organizes the work.

Explore assessment and control

The “Risk Management” mind map brings assessment and control together. It covers calculating risk, assessing whether risk is acceptable, selecting control strategies, and monitoring and assessing controls. Follow the branches in your own order, noting terms you want to check in another resource.

For a different view, use the map on risk management responsibilities and evaluation. Its branches include assigning responsibility, senior management and the board of directors, and evaluation using KPIs.

Use quizzes alongside maps

After studying a map, try “CAP DC”. Its questions include roles responsible for testing non-technical controls and guidance on risk mitigation. “SFPC - Risk Management Framework Guide Questions” includes questions about cybersecurity policy and participation in standards work.

Use the maps to organize the concepts you encounter in the questions. If a question brings up an unfamiliar term, return to a relevant map and look for a branch that helps you place it. Then try the question again.

Place the topic in the unit

This topic is one section of the Risk Management unit in Cybersecurity. The resources offer different ways to study frameworks and processes within that unit: the maps organize concepts, while the quizzes provide questions to practice. Choose a resource that fits what you want to work on next.
