Risk Exposure                                                                                                                                              

Risk exposure value is calculated by the given formula:

Risk Exposure Value = Risk Probability * Risk Impact

The following table provides the possible exposure values:

Prioritization of risks must be done based on Risk Exposure value as follows:

  • If Risk Exposure value is Green (i.e. for Low Risks) Mitigation Plan or Contingency Plan are not obligatory.
  • If Risk Exposure value is Amber (i.e. for Moderate Risks) Mitigation Plan is required, Contingency Plan could be developed but is not obligatory.
  • If Risk Exposure Value is Red (i.e. for Critical Risks) Both Mitigation and Contingency Plans are required.
