Dive deeper into this product!

Currently under exploration, the Risk Assessment Methodology for Software Stacks product would offer best practices that relevant groups may use to develop their own policies. The product may consist of several parts including:

  • a how-to on assessing risk aligned to a known framework;
  • a methodology or algorithm for groups to self-service risk assessments beyond what is in the Data Security Infrastructure Policy (DSIP).
