Conducting a risk assessment
Step 1: Identify Risks
It involves identifying potential risks that the organization may face. This could be done by reviewing past incidents and conducting surveys.
Step 2: Determine Possibility
Determine the likelihood of each identified risk occurring. This could be done by reviewing historical data, and industry trends, or conducting research.
Step 3: Determine Impact
Determine the potential impact of each identified risk on the organization. This could be done by reviewing financial data, reviewing industry reports, or conducting simulations.
Step 4: Prioritize Risks
Once the risks have been identified, and their changes and impact have been assessed, the risks should be prioritized based on their level of severity or potential impact on the organization.
Step 5: Develop Strategies
Based on the prioritized risks, strategies should be developed to manage and mitigate each risk. This could include avoidance, mitigation, transfer, acceptance, diversification, or contingency planning.
Step 6: Monitor and Review
