Risk Categories

  • Operational: Process failures, staffing gaps, system outages

Risk Register Format

For each risk, document:

  • Description: What could happen
  • Likelihood: High / Medium / Low
  • Impact: High / Medium / Low
  • Risk Level: Critical / High / Medium / Low
  • Mitigation: What we're doing to reduce likelihood or impact
  • Owner: Who is responsible for managing this risk
  • Status: Open / Mitigated / Accepted / Closed

Output
