12.6.1.3 Create a Risk

A Risk is an EPC object that models potential risks within an enterprise.Risks can come from uncertainty in financial markets, project failures, legal liabilities, credit risk, accidents, natural causes and disasters as well as deliberate attacks from an adversary. Mapping risks will enable users to better manage the risks that affect and influence the organization, as well as to identify, monitor, and measure them.

Web Modelers can create Risks on the WebApp and organize them within Risk Folders.

For instructions on how to create a new Risk, see the Create Objects section.
