Risk Calculation: LIKELIHOOD × IMPACT = RISK SCORE
IMPACT
│ 1-Min 2-Low 3-Med 4-High 5-Crit
─────────────┼───────────────────────────────────
LIKELIHOOD 5 │ 5 10 15 20 25
4 │ 4 8 12 16 20
3 │ 3 6 9 12 15
2 │ 2 4 6 8 10
1 │ 1 2 3 4 5
Risk Thresholds:
20-25: CRITICAL - Immediate action required
15-19: HIGH - Fix within 7 days
10-14: MEDIUM - Fix within 30 days
5-9: LOW - Monitor, fix when convenient
1-4: MINIMAL - Accept or document
Likelihood Factors:
- Attack complexity (lower = more likely)
- Required access level
- Skill required
- Detection probability
Impact Factors:
- Data sensitivity
- Business disruption
- Regulatory implications
- Reputational damage
Discovery Methodology
Phase 1: RECONNAISSANCE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Duration: 1-2 days
Objectives:
□ Understand system architecture
□ Identify API endpoints
□ Document authentication methods
□ Map data flows
□ Identify third-party integrations
Outputs:
- System architecture diagram
- Endpoint inventory
- Data flow diagram
- Integration map
Phase 2: THREAT MODELING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Duration: 1 day
Objectives:
□ Apply STRIDE to identified components
□ Map to OWASP LLM Top 10
□ Identify MITRE ATLAS techniques
□ Prioritize attack vectors
Outputs:
- STRIDE analysis
- OWASP mapping
- Attack tree
- Priority matrix
Phase 3: ACTIVE DISCOVERY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Duration: 3-5 days
Objectives:
□ Test each OWASP category
□ Probe identified attack surfaces
□ Document all findings
□ Collect evidence
Outputs:
- Vulnerability findings
- Evidence artifacts
- Reproduction steps
- Severity ratings
Phase 4: ANALYSIS & REPORTING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Duration: 1-2 days
Objectives:
□ Validate findings
□ Assess business impact
□ Develop remediation guidance
□ Prepare reports
Outputs:
- Technical report
- Executive summary
- Remediation roadmap
