A risk is characterized by:

• Risk Types: for more details, see "Risk types".
*A risk type defines a risk typology standardized within the context of an organization.
• Risk Factors: for more details, see "Risk factors".
*A risk factor is an element which contributes to the occurrence of a risk or which triggers a risk. Several risks can originate from the same risk factor. Examples: the use of a hazardous chemical product, the complexity of an application, the size of a project, the number of involved parties, the use of a new technology, the lack of quality assurance, the lack of rigor in requirement definition, etc.
• Risk Consequences: for more details, see "Risk consequences".
*A risk consequence can be positive or negative. It is associated with a type, which enables its characterization, for example: image, environment, employees.
• Incidents
