Definitions Risk Risk is the possibility of suffering harm or loss is the possibility of suffering harm or loss Operational Risk Operational Risk is the possibility of direct or indirect loss resulting from failed or inadequate internal processes or from failures caused by people, technology, or external events. is the possibility of direct or indirect loss resulting from failed or inadequate internal processes or from failures caused by people, technology, or external events. Operational Risk Tolerance Operational Risk Tolerance is the maximum overall exposure to operational risk that will be accepted is the maximum overall exposure to operational risk that will be accepted Mission Mission is the set of objectives pursued by a person or group is the set of objectives pursued by a person or group

Risk Management Definition Definition Examples Examples Common Characterisitic of Risk Management Common Characterisitic of Risk Management There must be a loss associated with the situation There must be a loss associated with the situation There must be some uncertainty with respect to the eventual outcome There must be some uncertainty with respect to the eventual outcome There must be some choice or decision required There must be some choice or decision required When management of a process is distributed, controlling operational risk becomes more difficult. When management of a process is distributed, controlling operational risk becomes more difficult.

Operational Risk Analysis Operational Risk Analysis in a parallel distributed environment is incomplete Operational Risk Analysis in a parallel distributed environment is incomplete some sources are excluded from the risk some sources are excluded from the risk Interrealationships and dependencie are not typically established Interrealationships and dependencie are not typically established Impact of risk is difficult to characterize – based on the environment Impact of risk is difficult to characterize – based on the environment Issues related with Operational Risk Management Issues related with Operational Risk Management

Mission Assurance Definition Definition Mission Assurance is taking due care to reduce operational risk to the mission to an acceptable level

Mission Assurance Strategy Mission Assurance Strategy Reduce operational risks to an acceptable level Resolve problems that occur Manage operational riskResolve problems that occur Mitigate operational risk

Mission Assurance - Analysis The scope of the analysis is set according to the mission being pursued The scope of the analysis is set according to the mission being pursued The interrelated process model for achieving the mission are defined The interrelated process model for achieving the mission are defined The criteria is established for measuring the risk, and the tolerance are defined The criteria is established for measuring the risk, and the tolerance are defined The different tools and techniques for data gathering and analysis are selected The different tools and techniques for data gathering and analysis are selected

Mission Assurance – Analysis(contd …) The operational risk data is collected The operational risk data is collected Analyze the operational risk to the mission Analyze the operational risk to the mission Required actions are then taken to reduce the risk in the mission Required actions are then taken to reduce the risk in the mission
