With the rise of IT systems, cyber-attacks are becoming not only more intense and complex, but also more sophisticated. The source of threats can be multiple, including hardware, software, physical and human factors. Yet, it can be stated that the weakest link is the human element. For this reason the aim of this study to develop a risk assessment model which is able to predict the risk level taking into account the characteristics of the company. In the proposed hierarchical model, fuzzy-based subsystems are used to handle the inherent uncertainties and subjectivity in the data and in the evaluation process.
