Risk Analysis – Risk Matrix
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Risk Analysis – Risk Matrix
Risk Rating (E, H, M or L) is determined from the combination of Likelihood and Consequence assigned to the risk behind each finding.
LIKELIHOOD | CONSEQUENCES | ||||
1 (Insignificant) | 2 (Minor) | 3 (Moderate) | 4 (Major) | 5 (Catastrophic) | |
5 (Almost Certain) | M | H | H | E | E |
4 (Likely) | M | M | H | H | E |
3 (Possible) | L | M | H | H | H |
2 (Unlikely) | L | L | M | M | H |
1 (Rare) | L | L | M | M | M |
Legend | ||
E | EXTREME risk – senior or executive management’s immediate attention needed, action plans and management responsibility specified. | |
H | HIGH risk – senior or executive management’s immediate attention needed, action plans and management responsibility specified. | |
M | MODERATE risk – manage by specific monitoring or response procedures, with management responsibility specified. | |
L | LOW risk – manage by routine procedures, unlikely to need specific application of resources. |

1.0 Introduction
Provide a very brief introduction to the technical report. State the purpose of the report (WHY you’re writing it) and a brief description of the plan or structure of the report so that the reader knows what to expect.
2.0 The organisation
Provide a short paragraph that briefly introduces the organisation relating to industry given by your tutor.
2.1 Background information
State the core business/es of your organisation as well as its vision and mission.
2.2 Key goals needed
Identify the key goals the organisation should have in order to achieve its vision and mission. It is important to include a consistent numbering system for the headings and subheadings and use the layout of the report’s headings to indicate the sections and sub-sections.
2.3 Identification and assessment of risks relating to above goals
Identify the risks that the organisation faces when trying to achieve the goals you described in section 2.2. Then, assess these risks by given them a rating (e.g. Extreme, High, Moderate or Low) using the Risk Analysis – Risk Matrix given in the assignment pack. Identification of relevant business cycles

Using a relational database management system (RDBMS) of your choice (e.g. MS-Access, FileMaker, etc), create a database by linking the data files showing the attributes described in 3 above only. Attach screen dumps in an appendix.
Hint: Capture the screen displays by pressing the ctrl-PrtScn keys simultaneously. Paste the captured screen displays in the Paint software (click the start icon on your screen and select the Paint software). Crop and copy/cut, and then paste it in your document. Or, use Jing to capture screens (http://www.techsmith.com/download/jing/).
