I wouldn't bother asking this question if it was easy to find. In the past I've used a risk-analysis-checklist which was split up in serveral factors.

For example, there are Human factors, Hardware is one, Organization is one of them and Environment too.

I've lost this list and I wonder if anyone here could share this checklist with me. I've found a partial list in Dutch which helped me out for the factors except Organization and Environment.

If you have a question about my question(?), please add a comment and I will try to make it more clear.

  • Is the purpose of the checklist to quantitatively evaluate security risk? Or is it just supposed to remind you of what to look at?

  • @KnightOfNi Pointing me in the right direction for Organization and Environment would be a start. The complete list would be even more great.

    Doesn't this depend a lot on what approach you're taking? Which framework are you using? ISO? COSO? ITIL? Was it a SANS publication? Apr 18, 2014 at 14:55
  • The checklist I've had was based on either ISO or ITIL. But I'm just looking for the most basic checklist with examples of the most common risks. It does not have to be the exact list, pointing in the right direction with practical examples would be great. If you have any of them, please add them as answer even as they don't meet my request. They could gelp me alot!
