There has been increased recognition that, to be cost and technically effective, security requirements must be addressed in the Planning stages of an information architecture life cycle and not as an add-on after system deployment. Similarly, it is recognized that security solutions need to be described in an iterative manner, encompassing each of the enterprise, system and software life cycle stages. Managing information security without cognizance of risk exposure creates a likelihood of inappropriate security measures, the consequences of which include resource wastage and unchecked exposure to harm.
