Step 1 of 3

Qualitative risk analysis

1. Qualitative risk analysis with regard to a personal vehicle such as a car can be performed by identifying the threats and vulnerabilities that can affect the vehicle. Based on this analysis, controls can be implemented to reduce the effects of these risks.

For example, a threat can be identified as break failure. Once this threat is known, the circumstances that can cause this threat can be found and measures can be taken to avoid this failure.
