Bronte, the team will be reaching out to understand this further as currently we do not have risk appetite or tolerance functionality.

Louis An option could be risk metric (using simplistic calculation below)

Adding a custom value to increase / decrease the risk calculation
requiring several values

You already use basic calculation for Risk rating e.g.

  • IMPACT i.e. (Insignificant, Minor, Moderate, Major, Extreme) [1-5]
  • Likelihood (Rare, Unlikely, Possible, Likely, Almost Certain) [1-5]
    --> INHERENT risk (low-Critical {1-25})

Residual risk: Consider strength of control
Strength of control = is the controls working as intended?
Strength of controls: Initial Ad-Hoc [1] | Informal Repeatable [1]| Defined [0.4] | Managed [0.6]
--> reduces residual: Impact x Likelihood x Strength of control
--> Residual risk remains the same or reduced

Executive view
Appetite = Subjective- the business owner is not willingness to live with this risk (i.e. impact is too significant for them) - how long to remedy
Velocity = Subjective- How fast do we think this risk may realize based on current remediation strategy
Trend = Subjective- Are we doing enough is the risk profile changing (long time since risk opened, an incident occured,,, remediation progress, did the technolgoy / controls changes)

Tolerance in this case is not calculated - just provided as guidance
i.e. traffic light to demonstrate if increased need for executive oversight is required
Appetite: In Appetite [1]| In Appetite More to do [2]|Out of appetite [3]
Appetite: Residual Risk * Appetite : [<25-White | <50-Amber | <75-Red]

Velocity: Slow (>2years) [1]| Medium (<2 years) [2]| Fast (<6months) [3]
Velocity: residual Risk * Velocity [<25-White | <50-Amber | <75-Red]

Trend: Decreasing [1] | Stable [2] | Increasing [3]
Trend: Residual Risk * Trend : [<25-White | <50-Amber | <75-Red]

This allows the Risk owner to assess if they will continue to tolerate the risk position and require change of the remediation strategy/time
