How do you rank or prioritize the risks?

Ranking or prioritizing vulnerabilities is one way to help determine which threat is the most serious and thus which threat to control first. Priority is usually established by taking into account the information exposure and the potential for attack taking place and succeeding. By assigning a priority to the threat, you are creating a ranking or an action list. The following factors play an important role:
•?percentage of confidential information exposed
•?frequency of exposure
•?degree of harm likely to result from the exposure
•?probability of occurrence
There is no one simple or single way to determine the level of risk. Ranking vulnerabilities requires the knowledge of the information security activities, urgency of situations, and most importantly, objective judgment
