Risk Matrix
What is a Risk Matrix?
A Risk Matrix is a visual tool used in risk assessment to evaluate and prioritize risks based on their likelihood of occurrence and potential impact. It helps organizations determine which risks require immediate attention and which can be monitored over time.
By mapping risks on a grid, teams can easily identify high-risk areas, develop appropriate mitigation strategies, and allocate resources effectively.
How a Risk Matrix Works
A typical Risk Matrix is a grid with:
Likelihood/Probability on one axis (e.g., Rare to Almost Certain)
Impact/Severity on the other axis (e.g., Insignificant to Catastrophic)
Each intersection is color-coded to reflect risk levels:
🟥 High Risk – Immediate action required
🟧 Medium Risk – Needs monitoring and management
🟩 Low Risk – Acceptable or minor attention
Benefits of Using a Risk Matrix
✔ Simplifies complex risk data into a visual format
✔ Aids in prioritizing risk response efforts
✔ Supports clear communication among stakeholders
✔ Enhances decision-making during planning and review processes
