Translations:Risikopolitik/38/en

The risk matrix for each protection requirement class results from the combination of extent of damage (vertical) and probability of occurrence (horizontal). For this purpose, the respective risk factors are multiplied in order to obtain the risk ratio. The higher the risk or opportunity ratio (as in, the further away from zero), the more critical a risk is and the more urgent it must be dealt with in order to prevent serious consequences, and the greater an opportunity is and the sooner it should be taken advantage of to gain a benefit.
