This settings page lets you define your risk criteria and its values such as likelihood and consequence/impact, which will be used when completing a risk assessment. Each option within the criteria necessitates an associated value, which is later utilized to determine the risk score. (see details under the ‘Calculations’ setting).

• STEP 3: Under Visibility, select the assessment phases for which risk rating calculations the criteria should be used. For example, Likelihood and Consequence are often used for initial assessments, whereas Effectiveness of Controls is also often used in the current assessment (along with Likelihood and Consequence) when completing a review.

When a Risk Criteria record is saved, the name turns into a hyperlink which can be clicked to navigate directly to its Risk Criteria Rating screen.

Ensure you know how to configure these values accurately as they, along with the formulas entered in the Risk Calculations area, determine how your risk ratings are generated. If you are unsure how to enter these, use the default values provided by Camms.

You will be taken into the value items. To add a new item, Click Add New and enter a name, value and a rating description.
