My Personal Risk Management Framework helps you take control of your life using the same strategies businesses apply to security, resilience, and decision-making. Drawing from principles of cybersecurity, business governance, and risk management, this framework breaks down how to identify threats, assess vulnerabilities, and make strategic choices that align with your values and goals.

I’m Katherine Trame, a cybersecurity professional and risk strategist with a passion for helping people understand how to protect themselves—digitally and personally. I created this framework not just as a guide but as a mindset shift: learning to approach life with the same structured awareness that keeps businesses secure. Whether you’re navigating career decisions, relationships, or financial choices, this framework gives you the tools to assess, mitigate, and take smart risks with confidence.

Below, you’ll find an outline of the framework, with links to individual topics that break each concept down in depth. This is a living document that will be updated as new blog posts are published.
