Risk assessment assigns a qualitative rating by evaluating two dimensions. Assessors judge how likely a threat event is to occur and estimate the impact that event would have on the organization. Combining likelihood and impact produces a relative risk level. Asset cost alone, control effectiveness, or attacker motivation are useful data points but do not by themselves determine the standard high-medium-low rating in a basic qualitative assessment.
