  • {{current_measures}}: A list of existing security measures (e.g., firewalls, encryption, access controls).
  • {{threat_landscape}}: Any specific threats or concerns you are aware of (e.g., phishing, ransomware, insider threats).
  • {{compliance_requirements}}: Optional: any regulatory standards you must meet (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).

Instructions

  2. Analyze the provided profile and current measures to identify potential vulnerabilities.
  3. Prioritize the risks based on likelihood and potential impact.
