One of the primary purposes for a risk heatmap (RHM) is to allow customers to document, track, and manage risk. It allows users to visualize the ranking of risk objects in relation to each other. Each risk object drives visualization with the following elements:
Measure of Impact (how damaging a risk could be to the business).
Measure of Likelihood (what is the chance this risk could happen).
Risk Score = Impact x Likelihood.
