- Abstract
This paper reviews background information on insider threat and provides a rationale for the development of an evidence-based analytic tool to assess the individual risk for insider threat. This tool, referred to as the RA1T is of value to security and intelligence analysts in military settings, in critical structure settings and in organizations. The tool assists analysts in resolution of doubt decisions concerning the security status of individuals whose trust status is question. It is also applicable to routine re-assessments of individuals over time. Relevant risk indicators related to insider espionage, sabotage, unauthorized disclosures of classified information and violent extremism are structured into a standardized, systematic and reliable transparent tool to permit the assessment of individual risk and the threat that individuals may represent. This paper will identify some guidelines for use and the indicators in the RAIT tool. The RAIT is consistent with best practice for risk assessment and with other internationally recognized and validated risk assessment tools. The RAIT tool supports, but does not replace the professional judgment of those mandated to provide these security decisions.
