What are the 5 steps in operational security?

Operational Security (OPSEC) is a five-step risk management process designed to protect sensitive data by viewing operations from an adversary’s perspective. The five steps include: identifying sensitive data, identifying potential threats, analyzing vulnerabilities, assessing risks, and implementing countermeasures. OPSEC is essential for minimizing risk exposure, especially when supported by best practices such as AAA authentication, dual control, automation, and disaster recovery planning. RiskXchange helps businesses implement strong operational security through continuous risk monitoring, digital risk protection, and third-party risk management.
