Enterprise Risk Assessment Tool

The Enterprise Risk Assessment Tool is a survey that helps risk leaders gather stakeholder feedback to identify and assess key risks. This turnkey solution offers a fast, cost-effective way to enhance your risk management strategy.

This Gartner Risk Heat Map provides a visual risk assessment, plotting various entities based on their Average Impact, Likelihood, and Velocity Scores. The horizontal and vertical axes both range from 1.66 to 3.66, creating a grid where entities are color-coded in red, green, yellow, and orange. These colors indicate different levels of risk assessment, with several entities clustered around the center. A dotted line divides the chart, highlighting the average scores and offering a clear view of potential risk areas.
