RAPLite is a database application that provides functionality to perform a qualitative risk assessment. The program supports two industry standard risk assessment techniques combined into a single application using a consolidated risk assessment methodology. General business risks can be identified and prioritized using a risk statement, likelihood and impact method. Information security specific risks can be quantified using a threat, vulnerability, consequence method. Both methods are combined such that the output of the program is a graphical risk profile and prioritized ranking of all identified risks. The application is a complied version of Microsoft Access* and requires that Access 2003 is installed on the PC running the program.
