Risk Review Process

What is the Risk Review Process?

The Risk Review Process is a systematic approach to evaluating and updating the status of identified risks over time. It ensures that risk assessments remain accurate, risk responses stay effective, and new threats or opportunities are properly captured. This process is critical for maintaining a dynamic and resilient risk management system.


Key Steps in the Risk Review Process

  1. Gather Risk Information
    Collect current data on risks, control measures, and mitigation activities.

  2. Analyze Risk Changes
    Evaluate whether the likelihood or impact of risks has increased, decreased, or remained stable.

  3. Assess Mitigation Effectiveness
    Review the performance of risk responses and controls.

  4. Identify New Risks
    Capture emerging risks that were not previously recorded.

  5. Update the Risk Register
    Revise risk details, statuses, and action plans accordingly.

  6. Communicate Findings
    Share updates with stakeholders and leadership teams.

  7. Plan Next Steps
    Adjust strategies, allocate resources, and assign new tasks if needed.
