Risk Analysis in line with ISO 27001 & BSI

With Leno ISR, you can conduct risk analyses in accordance with ISO 27001 and BSI IT-Grundschutz in a structured, consistent, and audit-ready manner. Risks are assessed based on the information network, the protection needs assessment, and defined threat and vulnerability scenarios - providing a solid foundation for mitigation measures, management decisions, and compliance.

Why IT risk analyses are challenging in practice

Risk analysis is a core element of any ISMS. In many organizations, however, it is still carried out manually, inconsistently, or detached from the information network. This leads to inconsistent results and makes effective risk management difficult.

Lack of a systematic approach

  • Risks are not assessed using a consistent methodology
  • Protection needs, threats, and vulnerabilities are not clearly linked
  • Results are difficult to compare

Isolated and manual assessments

  • Risk analyses are performed in spreadsheets or standalone tools
  • Links between risks and mitigation measures are not fully traceable
  • High manual maintenance effort

Limited timeliness and audit readiness

  • Changes in the information network are not consistently reflected
  • Risk decisions are difficult to explain retrospectively
  • Increased risk of audit findings

Key questions on risk assessment and risk analysis

What you should know about risk analyses in line with ISO 27001 & BSI


What is a risk analysis in accordance with BSI Grundschutz and ISO 27001?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

The risk analysis in accordance with BSI Basic Protection and ISO 27001 is used to systematically identify, evaluate and prioritize information security-relevant risks. It forms the basis for selecting suitable security measures within the framework of an ISMS.

How does the risk analysis according to ISO 27001 differ from that under BSI Grundschutz?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

ISO 27001 allows a flexible, risk-based methodology, while the BSI basic protection is more standardized and catalogue-based. However, both approaches have the same goal: to make risks transparent and to deal with them appropriately. Leno supports both methods as well as hybrid approaches.

Which risks must be considered as part of the risk analysis?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

Risks arising from threats and vulnerabilities relating to information objects, processes and applications are considered. These include technical, organizational and external risks.

How often does a risk analysis have to be updated?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

A risk analysis must be reviewed regularly and updated at least once a year. In addition, an event-specific update is required, for example in the event of changes in the information network, new threats or significant process adjustments.

What is the difference between protection needs analysis and risk analysis?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

The protection requirements analysis determines how valuable information, processes or applications are. The risk analysis then assesses which risks these protection requirements are exposed to and how high the potential effects are. Both analyses build on each other logically.

What is the role of risk analysis in audits and certifications?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

Risk analysis is a central test criterion for ISO 27001 certifications and internal audits. Auditors expect comprehensible methodology, up-to-date assessments and a clear derivation of measures.
