Assess

Assess

This is where you will create the Risk Matrix.

The I (Currently on the 3 Local/Likely) refers to the Inherent risk, this depicts the posed risk in its infancy. The Impact and Likelihood have to be selected under the Inherent Assessment band below the matrix. Once the Inherent assessment is completed and saved, the score will be greyed out and you will not be able to change it.

  

The R (Currently on the 6 Major/Possible) is the Residual Assessment, this depicts the status of the risk after any control measures or other considerations have been put in place. This status can constantly change at any stage. Selected Impact, Likelihood and score will display on Summary page. Also, the Risk Movement will be updated after the residual assessment score is established.

Related Controls:

Above the Residual Assessment you have the option to add Related Controls; simply click the checkbox next to each Control that you want to link then click Save.

As well as displaying the current risk rating the matrix can also display a three and six month forecast for the predicted risk rating. To add the forecast simply click on the rating which you believe will depict the risk in 3/6 months time; this will open the box shown below.

This will label the box with a 3 or a 6 to display the forecast; the forecast ratings can be changed at any point by selecting a different rating and setting a forecast.
