I agree, B) is the way to go. Identifying failure modes, causes, and effects is exactly what FMEA is all about. Now if only I could remember what those three risk factors are...

B) Failure Mode and Effect Analysis definitely seems the most appropriate here. Gotta love those acronyms, right? CSCI, CBIT, FMEA - it's like alphabet soup!

Hmm, I'm not sure. What about that 'Cost of Exposure' option? Sounds like something an accountant would come up with. *chuckles*

I believe Wide Band Delphi could also be a useful technique for this type of risk analysis.
