Identify what needs protection
List important information, systems, identities and business processes. Confidentiality limits disclosure, integrity protects reliable information, and availability supports access when needed. Each objective needs a responsible owner.
Separate threats from weaknesses
A threat is a possible source of harm; a vulnerability is a weakness; risk depends on likelihood and impact in context. Avoid treating every technical warning as equally urgent.
Build a practical routine
Use unique credentials, MFA where appropriate, updates, access reviews and tested backups. Define a reporting channel and review controls when business systems change. No single tool removes all risk.
