The following general steps will guide you through a security assessment. Consider using them as steps in a report. The report will become a section in your final project report.

A. Risk Identification

Identify assets (e.g. web application)
Identify threat sources (e.g. SQL injection)
Construct risk scenarios (e.g. Attacker performs SQL injection on web application to download sensitive user data)

B. Risk Analysis

Determine likelihood
Determine impact
Use a Risk Matrix to prioritize risk of scenarios
Discuss what are you going to do about each of the scenarios
