&lt;p&gt;While performing information security management many things need to be in place before information security management can start as Raggad (2010) points out. The organization has to be in agreement with an accepted business mission, strategic plan and a standardized information technology computing environment with an asset baseline assessment completed. The level of detail, extent or correctness and the identification of assets should be equal to the energy and time invested in the security risk assessment which the baseline asset assessment is part of as Landoll (2016) points out. Once the baseline asset inventory is complete, the applications and systems can be prioritized by risk to determine the types of security risk assessments are required for the assets identified as the highest priority. Security risk analysis is peformed to identify assests with the highest priority.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
