Risk Management Administration

Administration.md

Using the Risk Management application, administrators can customize risk categories, risk criteria, risk management properties, and risk assessment types.

Risk criteria

Risk criteria are the scoring values attributed to the likelihood that a risk occurs, and the impact to your organization if the risk does occur.

Risk criteria thresholds define a high/likely or low/unlikely score as shown:

Likelihood	Impact	Scores
1 = Extremely Unlikely	1 = Very Low	0-5 = Very Low
2 = Unlikely	2 = Low	6-10 = Low
3 = Neutral	3 = Moderate	11-15 = Moderate
4 = Likely	4 = High	16-20 = High
5 = Extremely Likely	5 = Very High	21-25 = Very High

Name	Description
A list of tables that are available in the Applies to field on forms	If this field is blank, all tables are available on the various forms for Entity Types, Entities, and Risks. Defines a comma-separated list of tables that are available in the Applies to field on the Entity Type, Entity, and Risk form. Add .extended after the table name to include all extended tables.

Assessment types
