Assessments

Risk Scoring
Each assessment calculates an overall risk level based on the likelihood and impact of identified risks. The system supports four risk levels.
LOW
MEDIUM
HIGH
CRITICAL
Risk scores are calculated from individual question responses and can be overridden by the assessor with justification. The overall risk level drives review requirements and mitigation priorities.
Risk Mitigations
Document mitigation measures for each identified risk. Track implementation status and assign ownership for follow-up actions.
