Risk Management Framework

What is a Risk Management Framework (RMF)?

A Risk Management Framework is a structured and systematic approach used by organizations to identify, assess, manage, and monitor risks. It provides a clear blueprint for how risk should be handled at every level, ensuring consistency, accountability, and alignment with business objectives.

An effective RMF supports risk-informed decision-making, promotes a risk-aware culture, and ensures that risk management is integrated into strategic planning and daily operations.


Core Components of a Risk Management Framework

  1. Risk Identification
    Recognizing potential threats or opportunities that may affect objectives.

  2. Risk Assessment
    Evaluating the likelihood and impact of each identified risk.

  3. Risk Treatment
    Determining appropriate strategies—avoid, reduce, transfer, or accept the risk.

  4. Risk Monitoring & Review
    Continuously tracking risk status and effectiveness of controls.

  5. Communication & Consultation
    Ensuring stakeholders are informed and engaged throughout the process.

  6. Governance & Accountability
    Defining roles, responsibilities, and escalation procedures.
