Create an Assessment to discover, correct, and prevent security problems. Complete analysis questions and calculate Risk scores (mitigated and unmitigated). Accept the Risk and mitigate with Controls or a Mitigation Plan, or transfer or avoid the Risk.

4. Click **Save**.
5. In the **Threat Analysis** tab, there are a set of questions:
