Cell: C5 Comment: Reliance on Information Systems Applications/Criticality: Measure of exposure related to the disruption of information processing 1 System applications are time savers and the task can be performed manually. 3 Manual procedures and reinstallation of unmodified application packages are easily performed if the system application is not available. Historical data can be ignored for up to one month. 5 Costs of temporary remedies if the application were unavailable would be significant if extended over one business week. Access to historical data must be available within one week. 7 Unit has critical weeks or periods in which the application and historical data must be available. Transactions must be processed within 1-2 business days in order to be effective. 9 Unit has critical applications which must be available real-time. Processing may require constant supervision. Cell: D5 Comment: Ability to Satisfy Business Objectives: Measure of exposure related to the risk of an information system application not meeting the needs of management. 1 Application is satisfying all or most functional requirements with adequate response periods. 3 Application does not meet all business objectives or has some time response issues. Minor technical or functional changes are required and planned. 5 Technical and functional modifications are scheduled to make the application meet the majority of the unit's business objectives within required time frames. 7 Business objectives are changing such that the application will need significant modifications, which are not yet planned. 9 Application is scheduled for replacement or is currently in the process of being replaced. Cell: E5 Comment: Unauthorized Access: Risk to the company resulting from disclosure of sensitive information. 1 Systems contain generally available information, manipulation of data would have no impact. 5 Systems contain confidential information; however, disclosure or manipulation of such information would only have a minimal impact on operations. Controls are strong. 9 System contains highly confidential information; disclosure or manipulation would have a significant impact on operations. Cell: F5 Comment: Level of Support: Measure of exposure related to systems not being adequately supported. 1 Technical support (in-house or vendor) is proactive to platform and functional issues with the application and provides timely, cost-effective upgrades. They solicit user requests for changes and initiate technical change requests when appropriate with user knowledge, approval and testing. 3 Technical support (in-house or vendor) has minimal requests for changes and completes work adequately and timely with user approval and tests of changes. 5 Technical support (in-house or vendor) is responsive to business needs and objectives and provides timely, cost-effective modifications. Some changes are not communicated to and tested by users. 9 Technical support (in-house or vendor) delays completion of support requests due to limited staff or knowledge. Some changes have failed due to lack of user involvement and approval resulting in failures.
