Risk Severity & Mitigation Priority Matrix

Quantify operational, technical, and financial risks using standard FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) standards. Plot coordinates on a 5x5 severity grid and compute your Risk Priority Number (RPN).

Risk Parameter Inputs (Scale 1 to 5)

1 (Rare <5%) 2 (Unlikely) 3 (Moderate) 4 (Likely) 5 (Certain >80%)
1 (Negligible) 2 (Minor) 3 (Moderate) 4 (Major) 5 (Catastrophic)
1 (Immediate Alert) 2 (Easily Found) 3 (Periodic Audit) 4 (Hard to Detect) 5 (Hidden)
Risk Priority Number (RPN)
48
HIGH RISK
Recommended Action Protocol:

Develop proactive mitigation and contingency playbook. Assign dedicated risk owner with bi-weekly checkpoints.

Formula: RPN = Probability (1-5) × Severity (1-5) × Detectability (1-5)
