Therefore, the necessity for the transfer of risk to the insurance market reduces.
Once the key risks have been identified and categorised, decisions can be made concerning the likelihood of certain events happening and the impact levels of those events. Based on the data output, a Heat Matrix can be developed, which will help to focus resources within the business to deal with high risk and high severity exposures that could harm your business.
