Assess a Risk

Assessing a risk determines its probability and impact, which Lydaro uses to calculate risk level.

Steps

1. Open a risk — Click on any risk in the register

2. Find the Assessment section — Scroll to "Assessment" on the risk detail page

3. Set probability:

   • Remote (< 10%)
   • Low (10–30%)
   • Medium (30–60%)
   • High (60–80%)
   • Very High (> 80%)

4. Set impact:

   • Minor
   • Moderate
   • Major
   • Critical

5. Save — Click "Save Assessment"

Lydaro calculates the risk level (High/Medium/Low) from probability × impact and updates your Quality Score.

Inherent vs. Residual Assessment

You can record both:

• Inherent: Risk before any mitigation actions
• Residual: Risk after your response actions are in place

This shows how much your response strategy is reducing the risk.

Assessment History

Every assessment is logged with:

• Date/time
• Assessor's name
• Probability and impact values

This creates an audit trail useful for governance reviews. Download it via Export Reports.
