Why each option
In risk management frameworks, Tier 3 specifically addresses risks from an information system perspective, focusing on how individual systems implement security controls and manage risks at an operational level.
Tier 0 is not a standard tier in most established risk management frameworks like NIST RMF.
Tier 3 in risk management frameworks, such as NIST RMF, focuses on the "Information System" level. This tier deals with the security controls, policies, and procedures directly implemented on individual information systems and applications to manage their specific risks.
Tier 2 typically addresses risks from a "Mission/Business Process" perspective, focusing on how systems support organizational functions and associated risks.
Tier 1 typically addresses risks from an "Organization-wide" perspective, focusing on governance, strategic objectives, and enterprise-level risk management.
