Risk can be managed in one of two principal ways
by analysing each identified risk situation and taking specific measures that are adapted to each one, with the broad participation of the management in risk management, or
• by using more general analysis to establish security goals and guidelines in order to globally reduce risk without managing it through direct and personalised means and likely with less management participation.
The first risk management option requires an advanced risk analysis model that the second option does not. These risk management options have a direct effect on each phase of the related process. These effects are described later on in the document.
