Configuring Risk Setup (types, likelihood, consequence & ratings)

Risk ManagementFor adminsVerified 16 Sep 20261 min

Risk types

Go to Risk Setup to add, edit, or remove the risk types available when adding a risk.

Likelihood, consequence & rating

Configure the initial likelihood, initial consequence, and initial rating scales, plus their residual equivalents and the final rating calculation.

These scales drive the risk matrix used across every register in your organisation, so changes here apply organisation-wide.

Walkthrough video

Every step above, performed once in a demo organisation.
