Identify any residual risks
This task involves identifying any residual risks that may still exist even after implementing controls. Residual risks are those risks that either couldn't be completely eliminated or new risks that arise as a result of control implementation. The task requires analyzing the effectiveness of controls and considering any potential gaps. The desired result is a list of residual risks identified.
Document identified residual risks
This task aims to document the residual risks identified in the previous task. Documenting residual risks provides a record of potential vulnerabilities that need ongoing monitoring. The task requires documenting the descriptions, potential impacts, and any recommended actions for each residual risk. The desired result is a comprehensive document of identified residual risks.

Review and update Risk Control Matrix
This task involves reviewing and updating the Risk Control Matrix based on the identified risks and the effectiveness of the implemented controls. By regularly reviewing and updating the matrix, we ensure that it remains accurate and responsive to evolving risks. The task requires analyzing the current matrix, considering the identified risks, and updating control strategies as needed.

Communicate with team members about risks and their controls
This task involves communicating with team members about the identified risks and their corresponding controls. By sharing information and fostering awareness, we facilitate a proactive risk management culture. The task requires preparing clear and concise communications to convey the risks, their impacts, and the implemented controls. The desired result is effective communication and understanding among team members.
Train team members on risk mitigation strategies and controls
This task aims to provide training to team members on risk mitigation strategies and controls. By equipping team members with the necessary knowledge and skills, we empower them to actively contribute to risk management efforts. The task requires designing training materials, scheduling sessions, and delivering effective training. The desired result is well-informed team members with a clear understanding of risk mitigation strategies and controls.
