Analysen utg?r fr?n tv? teoretiska perspektiv. Rutinaktivitetsteorin anv?nds f?r att f?rst? myndigheter som kapabla v?ktare i den digitala milj?n och hur s?kerhets?tg?rder kan minska tillg?ngligheten f?r motiverade angripare. Teorin om risksamh?llet anv?nds f?r att analysera hur myndigheter agerar proaktivt i en kontext pr?glad av os?kerhet, d?r riskbed?mningar ofta grundar sig p? framtida hot snarare ?n faktiska h?ndelser.
