Risk Map

A risk map, or heat map, is a visual tool to help understand the likelihood and impact of a risk. Risks requiring immediate focus appear in the red area, medium-focus risks are in the yellow area, and low-focus risks are in the green area. The most important risks are highly likely and highly impacting; the least important risks are highly unlikely and not very impacting. By plotting multiple risks, actionable risk mitigation priorities may be established.

Calculate Risk Score

A table ranking impact and likelihood of risks from a score of 1 to 5.

 

Immediate response strategies based on risk score
