Asset & risk management depth
How this is scored
The ISMS core: asset inventory, risk methodology (identification, assessment, treatment), protection-needs inheritance, incident handling with statutory clocks.
0 — No ISMS substance; "information security" is a chapter in the marketing site.
3 — A flat risk list and an asset spreadsheet import; no treatment tracking, no inheritance, incidents live in the ticket system.
5 — Asset and risk management with configurable matrices and treatment tracking; basic incident handling; inheritance and aggregation need manual work.
8 — A real risk backbone: documented methodology (ISO 27005 or equivalent), inherited protection needs across asset relations, incident workflows with statutory reporting clocks (NIS2 24h/72h), risk acceptance with ownership.
10 — Risk management a certifier works inside: complete asset-risk-treatment chain with inheritance, continuity planning, incident reporting with authority export, and risk reporting the executive level actually reads.
The Lead Auditor
The risk backbone has substance: protection-need assessments are configurable per asset class and repeated on a recurring cycle, risk assessments carry treatment strategies and derive measures, completed assessments become immutable, and score development over time sits on the dashboard, with a BSI-oriented risk analysis walked through in a whitepaper. I found no public information on incident handling with statutory reporting clocks, on inherited protection needs across asset relations, or on risk acceptance with named ownership, which is what separates this from a certifier-grade core. 6 7
