The initial values correspond with the recommendations of the standard.

The value 1 is the lowest risk and value 5 is the highest risk. It is possible to modify the risk matrix with values ranging from 1 to 5 depending on the type of project you are working on.

Likelihood has the following potential values: Very Low, Low, Medium, and High.

Impact has the following potential values: Negligible, Moderate, Major, and Severe.

The matrix is freely configurable, as can be seen in the images below. The colours change depending on the value. By clicking Save, the changes in the risk matrix can be applied.
