What do the risk categories of our resources describe?

The risk categories of resources primarily describe the individual sensitivities of the resource. This focuses on how vulnerable each resource is to threats and how critical it is to the overall mission or operations. Understanding individual sensitivities allows for better risk management because it highlights which resources may require additional protection or contingency planning based on their specific characteristics and the implications of their loss.

This approach helps organizations prioritize their resources, ensuring that the most sensitive or critical assets receive appropriate attention and safeguarding measures. By identifying these sensitivities, organizations can allocate resources effectively and respond more adeptly to potential risks, thus maintaining operational integrity.
