Risk Response Plan

What is a Risk Response Plan?

A Risk Response Plan outlines the specific actions an organization will take to address identified risks. It defines how to mitigate, transfer, avoid, or accept risks to minimize their potential impact or maximize opportunities. This plan ensures that every major risk has a clear strategy and responsible owners, promoting proactive and organized risk management.

Key Elements of a Risk Response Plan
