1. Risk Assessment Framework
This framework provides a structured methodology for evaluating potential threats to company operations, legal standing, customer trust, and financial stability.
Scoring Methodology
Risk Score = Likelihood × Impact
Likelihood Scale (1 to 5)
- Rare: Highly unlikely to occur; once in 5+ years.
- Unlikely: Low probability; once in 2–3 years.
- Possible: Moderate probability; could happen within a year.
- Likely: High probability; likely to occur multiple times per year.
- Almost Certain: Expected to occur routinely or immediately.
Impact Scale (1 to 5)
- Insignificant: Negligible operational impact; financial loss under $1,000; no reputational harm.
- Minor: Low operational delay; financial loss $1,000 – $10,000; minimal customer impact.
- Moderate: Noticeable disruption; financial loss $10,000 – $50,000; manageable compliance inquiry.
- Major: Significant operational stoppage; financial loss $50,000 – $250,000; material legal/regulatory violation.
- Catastrophic: Threatens business solvency; financial loss greater than $250,000; severe criminal or civil liability.
Risk Severity Levels
- 1 – 4 (Low Risk - Green): Accept risk with routine monitoring.
- 5 – 9 (Moderate Risk - Yellow): Implement standard operational controls and periodic review.
- 10 – 14 (High Risk - Orange): Active management intervention and documented mitigation required.
- 15 – 25 (Critical Risk - Red): Immediate executive escalation and mandatory corrective action plan.

3. Mitigation Strategies Overview
When addressing identified risks, select the appropriate strategic treatment:
- Avoidance: Eliminate the risk by discontinuing the activity, declining high-risk engagements, or modifying scope.
- Mitigation (Reduction): Implement internal controls, safety protocols, duplicate approvals, or technology safeguards to reduce likelihood or impact.
- Transfer (Sharing): Shift financial burden to a third party through commercial insurance policies, contractual indemnities, or warranties.
- Acceptance: Acknowledge residual risk when cost of mitigation exceeds potential impact; establish contingency reserves.
