A defined method is planned in advance, clearly described, made definite, and standardized. Employing a defined method to identify risks will aid the cyber risk management program in producing consistent outputs and better enable effective management of cyber risk. The organization may choose to define their own method or leverage standardized guidance, such as the NIST SP 800-30, Guide for Conducting Risk Assessments.
