CARVER Analysis

CARVER Analysis

Military threat assessment methodologies provide quantitative risk analysis. This service can be delivered as a confidential assessment for senior management or as a training course at your site.

The acronym CARVER stands for:

Criticality
Is the facility, target, or its human resources critical to the operation of the entire corporation?

Accessibility
Can attackers gain access to a facility, attack, and withdraw safely? Is safe withdrawal important to the attackers?

Recognition
Can the facility be recognised easily, and from what distance? Are maps or directions available from open sources?

Vulnerability
Can attackers damage the target sufficiently to attain their mission objectives?

Effects (Economics)
What are the effects on the public, the operation, the organisation, and ongoing negotiations?

Recovery
How quickly can the facility be repaired, human resources replaced, or critical information be recovered after catastrophic loss?
