Risk Assessment Framework
Framework components include:
Risk categories: regulatory, ethical, operational, financial, reputational.
Weights reflect organizational risk appetite; adjust for critical use
Process steps: initiate request, gather documentation, conduct scoring workshops, review scores, approve results.

Reporting supports regulators, internal audit, and management committees.
How frequently are operations and reviews conducted within the system?
The operations and review cadence involves regular assessments and evaluations to ensure ongoing functionality and identify potential issues.
What responsibilities does the risk scoring team have regarding assessment management?
The risk scoring team is responsible for managing all assessments, maintaining the associated tools, and continuously improving the system's effectiveness.
How should the review cadence be determined based on risk levels (e.g., high-risk quarterly, medium annually)?
Review cadences should be tailored to the level of risk; for example, high-risk scenarios require more frequent reviews – typically quarterly – while lower-risk situations can be assessed annually.
