What does the product risk profile aim to achieve?

The product risk profile serves as a comprehensive assessment tool that provides insights into potential security risks associated with a software product. Its primary aim is to guide Software Development Life Cycle (SDL) activities to effectively mitigate identified issues. By establishing a clear understanding of these risks, the product risk profile enables teams to prioritize their efforts to address vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

This deliverable helps ensure that security considerations are integrated throughout the development process, aligning with best practices and regulatory requirements. It also facilitates better communication among stakeholders by presenting an overview of the risk landscape and outlining necessary actions to bolster security, thereby enhancing the product's resilience against potential threats.
