Risk Exposure
What is Risk Exposure?
Risk Exposure refers to the potential loss or negative impact an organization may face due to identified risks. It represents the extent to which an entity is vulnerable to financial, operational, reputational, or strategic harm from uncertain events.
Risk exposure is typically calculated by considering both the likelihood of a risk event occurring and the severity of its impact. Understanding your exposure helps prioritize which risks need immediate attention or resource allocation.
Types of Risk Exposure
Financial Exposure – Potential monetary losses (e.g., market volatility, credit defaults)
Operational Exposure – Disruptions in day-to-day processes (e.g., system failures, supply chain issues)
Compliance Exposure – Legal or regulatory penalties
Strategic Exposure – Risks to long-term goals or market position
Reputational Exposure – Damage to brand trust and stakeholder relationships
Why Risk Exposure Matters
