RM Studio includes an ISMS Threat library that is optimized for ISO 27001, but this may not be a complete Threat and Vulnerability library for your specific information security requirements. You can add, delete, or modify all included threats to better tailor the library to meet your needs, as well as change the associations with categories and controls. When creating new Threat, the new Threat must have a Name, be assigned to a Category and linked to mitigating controls from the Standard you are preparing to implement or existing company process or procedure. Categories To assign the Threat to a Category navigate to the Category tab and click on the “Add New Categories” icon. You will then be presented with a list of Categories. Select one Category and click the OK button to assign it to the Threat. You can add more Categories to a Threat by repeating these steps. Threatened Assets The Threatened Assets tab aggregates all the Assets from all the Assessments that have been marked as threatened by the respective Threats. Mitigating Controls Under Mitigating Controls you can define which Controls work against a given Threat. To add a new Mitigating Control from the Control list you must click on the “Add New Mitigating Control” icon on the Mitigating Controls Toolbar. Threat Types are a way to categorize threats for easy identification for the users. All predefined threats are assigned to the “Stiki” threat Type. Threat Types is where you set the name for the Threat type in your Threats list. Every Threat in RM Studio is by default assigned to the Created By Stiki type and now you can create your own types and categorize your Threats. The only thing to do here is to open up Threats > Threat Types, press add new button, give the new type a name and save. From there you can navigate to Threats, press the refresh button, create Threats and assign your type to them. You can also change the ones that are assigned to Stiki to your new type. Furthermore you can also remove the type and leave it BLANK with no type at all. To assign, remove or delete type’s right-click the type assigned to the Threat and navigate to Type and change the settings. 4.7.Threats
