Systematically identify, assess, and plan mitigations for operational risks.

Risk Assessment Matrix

	Low Impact	Medium Impact	High Impact
High Likelihood	Medium	High	Critical
Medium Likelihood	Low	Medium	High
Low Likelihood	Low	Low	Medium

Risk Categories

Operational: Process failures, staffing gaps, system outages
Financial: Budget overruns, vendor cost increases, revenue impact
Compliance: Regulatory violations, audit findings, policy breaches
Strategic: Market changes, competitive threats, technology shifts
Reputational: Customer impact, public perception, partner relationships
Security: Data breaches, access control failures, third-party vulnerabilities

Risk Register Format

For each risk, document:

Description: What could happen
Likelihood: High / Medium / Low
Impact: High / Medium / Low
Risk Level: Critical / High / Medium / Low
Mitigation: What we're doing to reduce likelihood or impact
Owner: Who is responsible for managing this risk
Status: Open / Mitigated / Accepted / Closed
