Risk assessment is a cornerstone of cybersecurity, and normative documents are essential in providing structured methodologies and legal expectations for evaluating threats, vulnerabilities, and potential impacts. Standards such as ISO/IEC 27005 for information security risk management and NIST SP 800-30 for risk assessment guidance outline best practices for identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing risks to information systems.
