The rapid digitisation of critical infrastructure has made traditional fragmented risk assessment practices increasingly challenging to scale. For global industrial leaders managing hundreds of diverse projects, there is a real need for a unified methodology that ensures technical rigour, cross-project reproducibility, and scalability. This paper introduces the Advanced Risk Assessment Methodology for Industrial Systems (ARAMIS), an innovative framework developed through a strategic partnership between Airbus Protect and Alstom. ARAMIS merges the structured, requirement-driven security levels of ISA/IEC 62443 with the scenario-based approach of Expression des Besoins et Identification des Objectifs de Sécurité Risk Manager (EBIOS RM). The paper details the five-module structure of ARAMIS, its unique multilayered modelling of operational scenarios and its algorithmic approach to calculating security levels target (SL-T). Finally, it discusses the implementation of the methodology within the Fence risk management tool to ensure seamless reproducibility and knowledge capitalisation across global project portfolios.
