Practical Framework

Certanet Risk Framework

A simple owner-facing method for converting threat, vulnerability and consequence into secure construction requirements.

1. Asset

Define what must be protected and what must continue operating after disruption.

2. Threat

Identify credible physical, cyber-physical and electromagnetic threat conditions.

3. Weak Links

Map envelope gaps, equipment rooms, utility paths, access points and single points of failure.

4. Consequence

Document operational, financial, public-safety and mission consequences.
