Specifying the Risks Associated with an Application
HOPEX IT Architecture is used to identify the risks associated with an application, and to retrieve the evaluations defined in the HOPEX Enterprise Risk Management solution. You can define a new risk using the application or connect a previously defined risk.
To connect a risk to an application:
1. Open the Characteristics property pages of the application.
2. Expand the Risk section.
3. Click Connect.
The query dialog box appears.
4. Find and select the risk required and click OK.
For more details on risks and their evaluation, see HOPEX Enterprise Risk Management.
