Risk Assessment and Mitigation Workflow

Start of the Workflow/Process.

Retrieve all active assets from the Asset Data Model to identify what is at risk.

Get previous risk assessment entries to compare current threats with historical data.

Create a new entry in the Risk Assessment Data Model to track the current assessment lifecycle.

Assign a task to the Security Analyst to identify potential internal and external threats.

Assign a task to the Department Head to evaluate the potential consequences of identified threats.

Update the specific Risk Assessment entry with the calculated severity and probability scores.

Execute formula (Probability * Impact) to determine the total risk score.

Assign a task to the Risk Manager to outline specific actions to reduce or transfer the risk.

Create a new entry in the Mitigation Plan Data Model linked to the parent Risk Assessment.

Change the status of the Risk Assessment entry from 'In Progress' to 'Mitigation Required'.

Send an email alert to the Executive Board if the calculated Risk Magnitude exceeds the threshold.

Create a task for the relevant Resource Owner to implement the approved mitigation strategy.

Retrieve the completed Mitigation Action Items to verify all steps were executed.

Update the original Risk Assessment entry to 'Closed' and mark it as 'Mitigated'.

Create a comprehensive report summarizing all assessed risks, their magnitudes, and mitigation status.

Send an SMS to the Incident Response Team if a 'Critical' level risk is detected.

Delete redundant or duplicate risk assessments identified during the aggregation process.
