Asset
The physical representation of a value. A resource that, if exposed to unwanted
influence, will bring about a negative effect for the person who owns, manages or
profits from the resource [13 p.4]. Used here as a synonym for the data on the piqlFilm
in need of storage and protection.
Value

Term
Definition
Scenario
development
The process of (i) mapping all the relevant elements to be included in a scenario to
ensure the validity of a given assessment and the ability to make meaningful
conclusions about the object of analysis, and (ii) ensuring the selection of scenarios
suitable to address the problem.
Scenario
description
The process of writing out the details of the elements of a given scenario found
relevant during the process of scenario development.
Scenario
analysis
The process of drawing conclusions based on the findings identified in the scenario
descriptions and, in turn, make relevant recommendations.

5 Simplifications and Specifications
Due to the scale of the object of analysis – the Piql Preservation Services, with all three
components (film, box and vault) and the complexity of the service journey – it became
apparent that a simplification of the subject matter was required to enable an adequate scenario
development process which in turn would lead to a meaningful scenario analysis relevant to this
study. Accordingly, we were obliged to make certain standardised assumptions about the
present and future application of the Piql Preservation Services for the purpose of this
assessment.
We have made clearly defined classifications for the categories geography, timeframe and user
class, with the corresponding asset in need of storage and protection in that user class. In
addition we have, in collaboration with Piql AS, made an operative concept which describes the
location and the layout of the storage facilities, as well as accounting for the security
