  • Publication number: 20090030756
    Abstract: Systems, methods and consumer-readable media for managing risk associated with various transactions are provided. Such methods may include identifying a consumer-based software application for analysis and classifying the consumer-based software application into a plurality of consumer-facing transactions. Each consumer-facing transaction may be rated according to at least one category or criteria. Further, each rating may be converted into a numeric value. Another aspect of the invention may relate to receiving an identification of a list of threats to each of the consumer-facing transactions. These threats may be categorized into threat categories. The impact of each of the threats may be forecasted. The overall impact of the threats as forecasted may be calculated. Yet another aspect of the invention may relate to receiving an identification of a plurality of threat controls that control at least a portion of the plurality of threats.
