Risk Lifecycle (4-Step Workflow)
Click on a risk to open the Risk Management page with a 4-step stepper:
Step 1: Risk Initiation
Review and confirm risk details (name, description, owner, due date).
Add additional context or documentation.
Step 2: Risk Scoring
Evaluate likelihood and impact.
The system calculates a combined risk score.
The score determines priority and severity.
Step 3: Risk Management
Define the treatment strategy (mitigate, accept, transfer, avoid).
Upload risk evidence documenting treatment actions.
Link related assets or controls.
Step 4: Risk Closure
Document the resolution summary.
Confirm closure to complete the lifecycle.
Closed risks are retained for historical reference.
