The goals of the mitigation assessment include:

  • Documenting risk mitigation strategies for transparency
  • Correlating the assessment of risk mitigation strategies to a risk's assessed inherent risk exposure
  • Demonstrating the impact of mitigation strategies on risk exposure

The tool can be made available to institutions of higher education at no cost.  Please contact us if you are interested in learning more.
