This Chapter describes how to value the real risk based on the results of a security assessment. The idea is to create a general methodology to break down the security findings and evaluate the risks with the goal of prioritizing and managing those risks.

This table represents the technical information delivered to the client and it is important to present an executive summary for the management.
