Note: Risk modeling will require a mixed approach of exercises, and the order which you
identify each component will vary depending upon the organization.
If it was not possible to conduct these activities in person, you can conduct them remotely
through applying one of the remote facilitation approaches described in the Remote
Facilitation appendix.

A list of organizational assets.
OPERATIONAL SECURITY
Ensure that any physical notes/drawings are erased and destroyed once digitally
recorded.
Ensure that any digital recordings of this process are kept secure and encrypted.
Consider who has physical and visual access to the room where this process takes
place, and if the room can be secured if this activity may span long/overnight breaks.
PREPARATION
Risk Modeling and Proccess Mapping exercises can be intense and challenging to
facilitate. Prepare and review your exercises, and plan for how they will flow
together. Note your specific desired outcomes to easily recover or re-direct the
activity based on emergent needs.
