Finding the residual likelihood

  1. Inherent likelihood = 8

  2. Sum of likelihood mitigation = 60%

  3. Residual likelihood = 8 x (100% - 80%) = 3.2 (Moderate)

Finding the residual impact

  1. Inherent impact = 8

  2. Sum of impact mitigation = 80%

  3. Residual impact = 8 x (100% - 80%) = 1.6 (Low)

Finding the overall mitigation

  1. Inherent risk = 8 x 8 = 64 (High)

  2. Residual risk = 3.2 x 1.6 = 5.12 (Low)

  3. Overall mitigation = (64 - 5.12) / 64 = 92%
