Key insight: Inherent risk is the raw exposure before any controls are applied. Residual risk is what remains after mitigation measures. The goal is never zero risk — it’s understanding the gap between the two and deciding whether the residual level is acceptable for your organisation’s risk appetite. A well-governed AI programme makes this gap visible and manageable.

Mitigation Priority Planner

Based on your risk matrix placements, this planner generates a prioritised list of mitigation actions ranked by risk score. Each action includes ownership recommendations, timeline, and estimated effort.
