BINARY RISK ASSESSMENT

Have fast, structured
conversations about risk.

Conversation 3


Too few of us have good
conversations about risk.

It's hard to to talk with the business about seemingly abstract risks in a repeatable and succinct fashion. Binary Risk Analysis (BRA) helps standardize your risk conversations.

BRA is a short series of simple questions that help you discuss a risk in a structured manner.

BRA is designed with three key features in mind:

5minutes

1 - Fast

BRA can be taught, learned and completed in 5 minutes. It was designed to be accessible to anyone, not requiring expert knowledge to use. Even a computer is optional when using BRA.

Transparent

2 - Transparent

High, medium and low are subjective terms for describing impact and likelihood; BRA brings structure to the risk conversation so that subjectivity is isolated allowing for consistency.

Compatible

3 - Compatible

No ontology wars required to convince colleagues to abandon their risk language. Results from BRA produces are compatible with methods other departments in your organization will use.
