Rapid Risk Assessment

  • Mozilla Rapid Risk Assessment (RRA) method aims at realizing a reproducible and consistent risk assessment for a service in 30 minutes.
  • It focuses on data, and one important step is to fill a data dictionary, with the classification of each important data.
  • The next step is to consider threats on confidentiality, integrity and availability for each data, and determine corresponding impact among Low, Medium, High and Maximum.
  • Likelihood is not directly evaluated, as RRA considers the risk of maximum impact.
  • RRA is a good way to determine if further analysis is required (if High or Maximum impact is present).
  • RRA is adapted to simple services. Complex services managed by multiple teams shall be decomposed before applying RRA on each component.
