A Vulnerability Chart can be completed for a physical location or for each critical system/function. The totals will indicate high areas of vulnerability. The form may be modified to rank vulnerability as high, medium, and low, instead of a numerical ranking system. Using a numerical rating, your most vulnerable areas will be those with the highest total.
