Study Notes

Risk Mitigation and Analysis Process

  • Identifying suitable controls to mitigate risks involves assessing each risk against predetermined criteria to ensure an acceptable level of exposure.
  • A formal approach is structured during Risk Analysis, which includes systematic methodologies to identify, assess, and prioritize risks.

Risk Analysis and Evaluation Process

  • The overall process of risk analysis entails recognizing potential hazards, assessing the severity of their impact, and determining the likelihood of occurrence.
  • Risk evaluation follows, comparing estimated risks against risk criteria to make informed decisions on risk management strategies.

Remaining Risk

  • Remaining risk, or residual risk, is the level of risk that persists after controls and mitigation measures have been implemented.

Tactical Management Level

  • On the Tactical Management Level, executive management uses Risk Analysis to identify possible risks.

Factors of Risk

  • Besides the Magnitude of gains and losses, another factor associated with risk is Probability.

Influence of Risk Factors

  • Normally, a Manager can only influence an Outcome through a Decision.

Magnitude of Risk

  • Magnitude of gains and losses is also known as the Severity of risk.

Risk Management Activities

  • The coordinated activities that direct and control an organization regarding risk are called Risk Management.

Probability in Risk Analysis

  • Probability in risk analysis normally refers to the combination of the threat and the Vulnerability.
