Impact

The impact of a finding is the potential outcome if the threat is realized. This is used to determine how individual threats

Impact Operational User Privacy Financial Legal Engineering Reputation
1 Ops Team Notified Browser crashes Unresolved privacy issues inline with Privacy Policy Low cost to remediate Minor Code Changes Required Negative comments from stakeholders
2 Minor Outage, in line with SLAs User behaviour can be trended Minor concerns over Privacy issues Director approval to pay cost to remediate Negative comments from community members
3 Moderate Outage, complaints from users Specific information about specific users can be obtained Moderate concerns over Privacy issues Requires budget changes to remediate Negative comments from user base
4 Significant Outage (intl store) The ability to execute scripts and code that is sandboxed on the users device Violation of Privacy Policy Requires Board review to pay for remediation Negative press in industry media
5 Service will be mothballed. Complete control over the users device Violation of Privacy Policy with Production Data Extreme cost for remediation (e.g. MoCo/Mofo can't afford to) Complete redesign and rewrite Negative press in mainstream media
