Register your risk event and assess whether a mitigation action is needed.
A risk event is the materialization of a risk that negatively impacts your ability to meet your business objectives. Risk events can result from factors internal to your business model such as human errors, processing errors, and system failures. It can also result from external factors beyond your control such as changes in customer behavior, the economic, legal, or political environment. Have a plan in place to contain, recover from, remediate, and learn from the event regardless of the cause. Logging these events in a register can also be useful for future risk identification and trend analysis purposes.
