Project → Risk is the risk file, using your domain profile's method: a severity-probability matrix, HARA with ASIL, FHA with DAL, a risk graph with PLr, LOPA with SIL, FMEA with RPN or action priority, energy classes, or your organisation's own.

Working with hazards

  • Hazards can be drafted from meetings and documents like other records, citing their source.
  • For matrix methods, a heat map shows risks before and after controls; click a cell to filter.
  • Results are computed from the factors you enter. Accepting a risk is always a signed human decision.

Residual-risk acceptance

Approving a hazard approves the analysis. Whether the residual risk is acceptable is a separate, signed decision on the approved revision: an approver who didn't write it decides acceptable, acceptable on benefit-risk grounds (with the written case) or not acceptable. It needs the initial and residual risk rated and an approved control. While a control has no passing verification result, the acceptance is provisional.

Profile rules

Your domain profile can add trace rules, for example "an approved failure mode needs a control", which raise alerts until they're met.
