Risk Assessment Questionnaire

A Risk Assessment Questionnaire identifies and evaluates potential risks and hazards in a particular situation or activity. It consists of a series of questions that aim to gather information about the potential risks involved in a project, process, or activity and to assess their severity and likelihood of occurrence.

The questionnaire covers various aspects of risk, such as operational, financial, legal, environmental, and reputational risks. The questions may be open-ended or multiple-choice and may cover such issues as the nature of the activity or project, the participants involved, the equipment or materials used, and the potential impact on stakeholders.

By completing a Risk Assessment Questionnaire, individuals or organizations can better understand the risks associated with a particular project or activity. They can develop strategies to manage or mitigate those risks. The questionnaire may also help identify areas where additional information or expertise is needed to assess the risks.

The ThreatNG CEQ (Correlation Evidence Questionnaire) can help organizations develop a risk assessment questionnaire by providing a structured approach to identifying and prioritizing potential cyber risks.

The CEQ includes a series of questions that cover various aspects of an organization's cyber security posture, including its policies, procedures, and technical controls. These questions can serve as a template for developing a risk assessment questionnaire tailored to an organization's needs and risks.

Reviewing the substantiated questions in the CEQ relevant to their organization, individuals or organizations can create a customized risk assessment questionnaire to facilitate identifying and assessing the most critical cyber risks they face.
