  • Threat – What is the likelihood that an event (natural or manmade) will occur?
  • Vulnerability – What are the risk factors or gaps that could increase the likelihood and/impact of the event?
  • Impact – What is the impact or costs that an unplanned event could have on your business? How could it negatively affect your team and interrupt your business processes or technology?
