Risk Strategy

What is Risk Strategy?

Risk Strategy is the overall plan an organization develops to identify, assess, manage, and respond to potential risks that could affect its objectives. It defines how a business will approach uncertainty, outlining the principles, processes, and actions needed to minimize threats and capitalize on opportunities.

A strong risk strategy ensures that risk management is proactive, aligned with business goals, and embedded into decision-making at every level.


Key Components of a Risk Strategy

  • Risk Appetite and Tolerance: How much risk the organization is willing to accept.

  • Risk Identification and Assessment: Recognizing and evaluating risks systematically.

  • Risk Response Plans: Defining how to mitigate, transfer, accept, or avoid risks.

  • Monitoring and Reporting: Continuously tracking risks and adjusting strategies as needed.

  • Governance and Accountability: Clarifying who owns and manages each risk.
