EBIOS (Expression des Besoins et Identification des Objectifs de Sécurité) is a risk assessment tool developed by the French Central Information Systems Security Division to assess and treat risks within an information system. 

Although it can be applied to different fields, EBIOS is mainly used to manage information security risks, privacy risks, critical infrastructures, and the ergonomics of working tools. 

As a risk management approach, EBIOS helps to identify, analyze, assess, and treat risks in the continual improvement framework.

EBIOS approach consists of an iterative cycle of five phases, also known as workshops: security frame and base, sources of risks, strategic scenarios, operational scenarios, and risk treatment.

Why is EBIOS important?

As the security of information systems can be effectively addressed using risk-based approaches, the usage of the EBIOS method can significantly reduce losses within an organization. It can be used to develop a complete study of the organization’s information system, adapted to the organization’s context.
