What is RiskQ?
RiskQ has been developed with the purpose of providing assistance with:
- Identifying and understanding vulnerabilities and risks
- Prioritising, planning and implementing measures to control and manage these vulnerabilities and risks
RiskQ allows users to conduct both vulnerability and/or risk assessments:
- Vulnerability assessment ‐ is an assessment of an exploitable weakness or deficiency (i.e. the assessment of probability or likelihood of a threat or challenge occurring).
- Risk assessment ‐ is an assessment of the combination of (i) the probability of a threat or challenge occurring and (ii) the consequence should it happen (i.e. impact).
