6 IMPACT ANALYSIS
Table I documents the ratings used to evaluate the impact of risks.
Table I: Risk Impact Rating Definitions
Magnitude of Impact
Impact Definition
High
Occurrence of the risk: (1) may result in human death or serious injury; (2) may result in the loss of major COV tangible assets, resources or sensitive data; or (3) may significantly harm, or impede the COV’s mission, reputation or interest.
Moderate
Occurrence of the risk: (1) may result in human injury; (2) may result in the costly loss of COV tangible assets or resources; or (3) may violate, harm, or impede the COV’s mission, reputation or interest.
Low
Occurrence of the risk: (1) may result in the loss of some tangible COV assets or resources or (2) may noticeably affect the COV’s mission, reputation or interest.
Table J documents the results of the impact analysis, including the estimated impact for each risk identified in Table D and the impact rating assigned to the risk.
