Every risk can be assigned a risk type. The risk type is used to categorize risks by origin or nature and enables more targeted evaluation and filtering in the views.
Default risk types
By default, the following risk types are available:
| Risk type | Description |
|---|---|
| Operational risk | Risks arising from internal processes, systems, or employee actions. |
| Financial risk | Risks with a direct impact on the company's financial position. |
| IT and cyber risk | Risks arising from IT systems, data security, or cyberattacks. |
| Legal & compliance risk | Risks arising from violations of laws, regulations, or contractual obligations. |
| Reputational risk | Risks with a negative impact on the company's reputation. |
Good to know: The risk type is only available for the Risk issue type, not for opportunities.
