Business Context
National Marine Fisheries Service issues permits to fishing industry individuals and corporations and also to individual recreational fishers.
Permits Types
A wide range of permit types are issued. Some representative examples are:
Business Drivers
Fisheries are managed regionally, but, many participants in the fishing industry are national or multinational in scope. It would be a convenience to these participants to offer a one-stop-shop for permits. Also, a one-stop-shop would facilitate maintenance of a single identifier for an industry participant who fishes or processes fish in multiple regions, and it would leverage efforts to improve data quality across regions.
Business Risk in the Permit Context
NIST 800-30: Risk Management Guide for Information Technology Systems defines risk as a function of the likelihood of a given threat-source's exercising a particular potential vulnerability, and the resulting impact of that adverse event on the organization. The threat and vulnerability identification process that follows is based on NIST 800-30.
