Risk Assessment and Management Techniques
Today, risk management is different. It's a planned process designed to identify, mitigate, and evaluate our exposure to risk. Risk assessment is a stage of risk management. Controls are specific activities undertaken to reduce exposure to risk
In this course, we'll clarify the difference between risk management and risk assessment. We'll also describe a five step process commonly used in risk management, and then highlight basic categories of risk controls and assessments.
