CONSIDERATIONS WHEN CONDUCTING THE RISK ASSESSMENT:
This Risk Assessment and your suggested security improvements are of critical importance. CEO Thompson is set

management and security functions away from your department and over to a service integrator. COO Willy warns

as to what value your department can bring over an integrator to provide security improvements in certain key areas
without a significant increase to the IT budget. It is extremely important that you take into account the value of the
assets being protected when selecting security controls to mitigate the risks (i.e. don't spend $1000 to protect an
asset worth $500). In addition to what you learned from COO Mike Willy about the previous exploits of GFI's
