A risk assessment, which is really a tool for risk management, is a method of identifying vulnerabilities and threats and assessing the possible impacts to determine where to implement security controls.After a risk assessment is carried out, the results are analyzed. Risk analysis is used to ensure that security is cost effective, relevant, timely, and responsive to threats.

A risk analysis has four main goals:
