Risk is the lack of certainty about the outcome of making a particular choice. Statistically, the level of downside risk can be calculated as the product of the probability that harm occurs (e.g., that an accident happens) multiplied by the severity of that harm (i.e., the average amount of harm or more conservatively the maximum credible amount of harm).
An Example Showing the Location of Magnitude and Importance Values in a Leopold Matrix Cell The system consists of a grid of 100 rows representing the possible project activities on the horizontal axis and 88 columns representing environmental factors on the vertical axis, for a total of 8800 possible interactions.

Example of risk assessment: A NASA model showing areas at high risk from impact for the International Space Station. Risk management is the identification, evaluation, and prioritization of risks, [1] followed by the minimization, monitoring, and control of the impact or probability of those risks occurring. [2]
A-Ware is developing a stable, supported, commercially exploitable, high quality technology to give easy access to grid resources. [1] AssessGrid addresses obstacles to wide adoption of grid technologies by bringing risk management and assessment to this field, enabling use of grid computing in business and society. [2]
Risk assessment determines possible mishaps, their likelihood and consequences, and the tolerances for such events. [1] [2] The results of this process may be expressed in a quantitative or qualitative fashion. Risk assessment is an inherent part of a broader risk management strategy to help reduce any potential risk-related consequences. [1] [3]
risk assessment (risk identification, risk analysis, risk evaluation) risk treatment; monitoring and review "Risk assessment is the overall process of risk identification, risk analysis and risk evaluation" (ISO 31010) Risk can be assessed at any level of the company’s operations or goals.
Two types of sample risk/control risks are: Assessing too low: the risk that the assessed level of control risk based on the sample is less than the true operating effectiveness of the control. Assessing too high: the risk that the assessed level of control risk based on the sample is greater than the true operating effectiveness of the control.
A Risk register plots the impact of a given risk over of its probability. The presented example deals with some issues which can arise on a usual Saturday-night party.. A risk register is a document used as a risk management tool and to fulfill regulatory compliance acting as a repository [1] for all risks identified and includes additional information [1] about each risk, e.g., nature of the ...
