Threshold Considerations
❑ Factors that contribute to the severity of an offense include threats of physical injury,

potential for significant losses, and risk of wider system compromise or disruption.

❑ Within an organization, if a security breach or policy violation can be contained

Threshold considerations are not met—No further action is required. For example,

available information. This step aims to inform about discernment based on practical as

well as legal precedent coupled with the informed experience of the investigative team.
