Approaches beyond asset-based for risk assessment

In working through the ISO 27001 toolkit, I saw that the tutorials and templates recommend taking an asset-based approach to risk assessment. While this may be the method that we use, I want to explore other options before settling on one in particular. Do you have any templates or documents available for a scenario-based approach or any other approaches?

Answer: Since other methods besides the asset-based approach to risk assessment are not commonly used by small and medium organizations, we do not have specific material about them, but we can suggest you to take a look at the ISO 31010 standard (www.iso.org/standard/51073.html), which will provide you examples of other risk assessment methodologies, including the scenario-based approach.

This article will provide you further explanation about ISO 31010:
