But what exactly is the risk? Because it is an entry about M_o_R, the following definition comes directly from the framework:

“Risk is an uncertain event or set of events which, should it occur, will have an

effect on the achievement of objectives. A risk consists of a combination of the probability of a perceived threat or opportunity occurring and the magnitude of its impact on objectives”.

So remember that when talking about risk in terms of M_o_R we mean both threats and opportunity for business.

 

According to M_o_R risk can occur on any of the following levels:

2. Assess

a) Assess – Estimate – estimate the likelihood and impact of risks. It is also important to estimate risk ‘proximity’ (how quickly the risk may materialize).

 

b) Assess – Evaluate – assess the impact of the identified risks to a planned action. Effects should be expressed in monetary value.
