Identify all potential risks. This can be done by brainstorming with stakeholders, reviewing historical data, and conducting industry research. Assess the likelihood and impact of each risk. This can be done using a variety of methods, such as expert judgment, statistical analysis, and scenario planning. Prioritize the risks based on their likelihood and impact. The most common way to do this is to use a risk matrix, which plots risks on a two-axis grid, with likelihood on one axis and impact on the other. Risks that fall in the upper right quadrant of the matrix (high likelihood, high impact) are given the highest priority. Develop mitigation strategies for the highest priority risks. This may involve implementing new controls, updating existing controls, or transferring the risk to another party. Monitor the risks and update the risk assessment as needed.
