When conducting a threat assessment an organization should determine?
An organization should determine the following key factors:
- Which threats require the least expenditure to prevent.

- Which threats represent the most damages to the organization's information.
Question:
Why is it important for an organization to identify the threats that would cost the least to recover from?
Answer:
Threat assessment includes in-depth analysis of a risk occurrence and its impact on the organization, both in financial and non-financial aspects are considered.
Explanation:
The last question listed is relevant to threat assessment because threat assessment is acknowledging what impact a particular outcome poses on the organization's operations or organization as a whole. Whereas the first question was of risk management procedure which talks about how a risk must be mitigated to ensure a safe future of the organization.
