Risk management is the identification, assessment, evaluation and then mitigation of risks to business. The main goal of risk management is to reduce uncertainty in achieving business objectives. Organisations require clear visibility of their strategy and road-map meanwhile preparing for the risks (internal or external). Risk management is built on clear identification and prioritisation of organisational assets.
The basic steps of risk management are:
It defines and understands the areas of improvement
It identifies the risks and vulnerabilities in your business
It's the process of risk identification, risk analysis, and risk evaluation
It compares the risk against the risk criteria to determine the risk significance
It puts the solutions in place to minimise risks and improve business functions
It is important to mention here that risk management must be based on business goals while seeking guidance from industry best practices. Alteration or combination of multiple standards may deliver better results for organisations.
