Questions about risk assessment and management software

Inherent risk is the risk before measures to reduce it are considered. Residual risk is the risk that remains after those measures. Explain both scores so reviewers can understand the difference.

No. The matrix is a chart of likelihood and impact. Open the risk record to read the explanation, measures and review details before deciding what to do.

Use your company’s rules and approval process. The software records the decision and reviews. The responsible people decide whether the remaining risk is acceptable.
