Defining risk attributes

Record information to help characterize, assess, and report on risks.

How it works

Risk attributes are the qualities, characteristics, or features of a risk. By defining risk attributes, you can record different types of information about risks.

Strategy Admins can configure risk attributes under Settings. For more information, see Configuring risk attributes.

Example risk attributes

  • Risk type a classification of the risk into one or more categories
  • Risk magnitude a ranking that helps to determine which risks need to be mitigated first

Permissions

Only Strategy Admins and Oversight Executives can define risk attributes.
