Quick start

What is the interruption interval that marks a significant difference in the consequences for the business or service? Let it be [1d] (one day): go to the cell under [1d] double click to select a value from 0 (negligible) and 10 (absolutely critical) … or somewhere in between.   Repeat with other concerns until the rest is not so important.

 

The value to protect in your information system is established by domains. The value is imposed by the essential assets (information and services) that translate this value to their domain, and to the associated domains.

The value of the system is the largest value of those for any information or service.

Each domain inherits the valuation of the essential assets associated to it.

This approach provides a quick but imprecise assessment common for all the assets in each domain. It is faster than the evaluation by dependencies. Using this method, all assets in the domain receive the same values.

The value of the information system is established for domains. The value is assigned to the essential assets (information and services) and transferred to the domain that hosts it, and to the domains that are associated to the essential asset.

 

 

You may better understand what is going on by displaying the association of assets to domains (and vice versa, of domains to assets):
