Origins

CARMMA project:develop a risk analysis using MAGERIT in the

Regional Information Systems and Telecommunications Office

One year/ 5 analysts/ 50 stakeholders Results

Countermeasures costs could be lower if assets would be developed taking into security issue from the beginning. But MAGERIT countermeasures are linked to thread not assets.

Purpose

Method took place during elicitation and specification

Use a reused repository that contains Requirements from MAGERIT

Method focus on security of information system

Method result are:Specification documents and testing

documents
