  For each high-priority risk, create actionable strategies to mitigate the risk, including preventive and corrective measures.

• Assign Responsibilities

  Designate team members responsible for implementing the risk mitigation strategies, ensuring accountability.

• Monitor and Review

  Establish a process for ongoing monitoring of implemented strategies, reviewing their effectiveness, and making adjustments as necessary.

• Document Findings

  Maintain comprehensive documentation of identified risks, evaluation results, mitigation strategies, and monitoring outcomes for future reference.
