In an era of rising geopolitical tensions, cyber-physical risks, and operational interdependencies, Threat Vulnerability Risk Assessment (TVRA) has become an essential tool, not just for security heads, but for CXOs, plant managers, and boardrooms.
At MitKat Advisory, we help leading organizations decode TVRA using a practical, outcome-driven framework built around A-B-C:
- Asset – What are you protecting?
- Breach – What could go wrong?
- Consequence – What will it cost you?
A is for Asset: Know What Matters Most
Every security strategy begins with a question: What are we trying to protect? In Threat Vulnerability Risk Assessment (TVRA), this means identifying and prioritising critical assets, from infrastructure and data to personnel and supply chain touchpoints.
Example: In a cement manufacturing setup, assets may include: Central control room, conveyor belts, Fuel and explosive storage zones and Employee housing and townships
Without precise asset identification, risk responses are fragmented and reactive.
How MitKat adds value:
We conduct detailed asset mapping through site walkthroughs, drone surveys, stakeholder workshops, and visual audits, building a foundation for risk-based decision-making.
B is for Breach – Expose the Gaps
Once your assets are mapped, the next step is understanding how they can be compromised.
Threat Vulnerability Risk Assessment (TVRA) uncovers:
- Threats: External or internal actors with motive and capability
- Vulnerabilities: Weaknesses in infrastructure, processes, or controls
What MitKat brings to the table:
Our assessments use industry-aligned breach simulations, red-teaming, and behavioural audits to identify exploitable vulnerabilities from the warehouse to the boardroom.
C is for Consequence – Measure What’s at Stake
Threat Vulnerability Risk Assessment (TVRA) isn’t complete without understanding impact. What happens if a breach occurs?
Impact areas include: Operational Downtime, Reputational Damage, Regulatory Liability and Human Safety Risks
Example: A breakdown in emergency coordination during a mine incident can cost lives, halt production, and erode years of community goodwill.
MitKat edge:
MitKat builds impact models and consequence matrices that help clients visualize and quantify risk exposure supporting smart capital allocation and compliance reporting.
Why the ABC Model Works
The ABC framework isn’t just easy to remember, it’s effective because it’s actionable.
- Start with what you value (Asset)
- Understand how it can be attacked (Breach)
- Plan for what it could cost (Consequence)
This clarity is what transforms a good TVRA into a strategic security enabler, helping your teams prioritize, plan, and act with confidence.
