Differences between risk analysis, risk management, and risk assessment

 Differences between risk analysis, risk management, and risk assessment



Risk is frequently defined as the product of a specific danger and its probability of happening (probability)x(hazard) = risk. A rate or a probability could be used to describe that likelihood. An aircraft accident risk (hazard), for instance, can be represented as one accident per million flights (likelihood).

Risk can be defined objectively so that two persons can use the same data and produce results that are equivalent. There are numerous methods to express risk as long as it combines a hazard with a likelihood.

In many different fields, including banking, human health, and aviation, there is a concept of risk. Risks can be defined using scientific, engineering, and math techniques.

Risk, Risk Management, Risk Assessment, and Risk Analysis are all phrases that are used to describe a wide range of topics. While most people may not find this to be a major concern, it can occasionally lead to confusion and misunderstandings for those who are responsible for carrying out that work (due to missed expectations).

There are differences that are worth highlighting, even while there is some overlap in the actual job that those phrases cover (for instance, risk management and risk assessment both contain risk analysis).


Let's begin with risk management first. Risk management, according to the Marquette University Risk Unit, is the ongoing process of identifying, analysing, evaluating, and treating loss exposures as well as keeping an eye on risk management and financial resources to lessen the negative effects of loss.

The Identification, Analysis (or Measurement), Treatment, and Monitoring of risk is how we commonly define it.


The Open Group defines risk assessment as the methods and tools used to recognise, assess, and communicate risks. The process of risk assessment is a "key component" of the risk management process, according to NIST 800-30.

Using the aforementioned condensed definition of risk management, it is mostly focused on the phases of identification and analysis.


In accordance with the Open Group once more, risk analysis can be viewed as the evaluation step in the larger risk assessment process, which establishes the importance of the discovered risk issues. To put this a little more simply, risk analysis can be thought of as the actual calculation of risk (i.e. calculating the probability and magnitude of loss).
