5. Related Risks

Understanding how risks interconnect is essential for building a comprehensive risk profile.

The Related Risks section allows you to identify and link risks that may share common causes, dependencies, or impacts with the current risk assessment demand.


By mapping related risks, organisations can:

  • Identify cascading effects: Understand how one risk might trigger or amplify another.
  • Enhance risk visibility: Gain a clearer picture of the overall risk landscape.
  • Prioritise mitigation efforts: Focus resources on interconnected or high-impact risks.
  • Improve decision-making: Make informed choices by understanding the broader context of related risks.

To add new related risks:

  • Click the '+' button on the right.
  • Select or define risks that are connected to the current demand.
  • Repeat the process as needed to include all relevant risks.

Adding related risks helps to understand the cumulative risks associated with the demand, offering a holistic view of potential vulnerabilities and dependencies.

This approach ensures that no risk is viewed in isolation, enabling a more strategic and informed risk management process.
