Brief description of the product

  • MIGRA (Metodologia Integrata per la Gestione del Rischio Aziendale) is a qualitative risk assessment and management methodology suitable to deal with both information and tangible assets risks. The methodology provides an analysis framework based on the classical vision of risk as a multidimensional entity depending on the answers to three questions: a) what could go wrong? b) how likely is it to go wrong? c) given that it happens, what are the consequences? In line with this vision, MIGRA defines:
    • a security and risk taxonomy for the two considered domains (information and tangible assets);
    • a logical framework for generating a model of the security perimeter to be analyzed;
    • an algorithm (based on questionnaires) for assessing, on a four level qualitative scale (High, Medium, Low, Negligible/Not applicable), the value of both information and tangible assets relevant to the above perimeter;
    • a scheme for performing threat and vulnerability analysis;
    • a procedure for calculating (on a qualitative scale) risk;
    • a mechanism to identify in every scenario a set of appropriate security measures;
    • a procedure to perform gap and compliance analysis with reference to corporate security policies, norms, standards, guidelines and best practices
    Unlike other methodologies, MIGRA forces and helps the analyst to precisely put in relationship threats, attacks, security measures and components of the security perimeter. In this way, the methodology allows to clearly understand the consequences (in terms of risks and costs) of deciding to implement or not implement every security measure.
