Definition
Risk Treatment is the process of selecting and implementing actions to reduce, transfer, avoid or knowingly accept Risk.
Human Explanation
After assessing Risk, the organisation decides what to do with it. Not every Risk must be removed; it may be accepted, reduced or transferred.
Why it Matters
Deliberate treatment uses resources effectively and focuses action where it creates the most value.
Conceptual Boundary
Risk Treatment does not mean implementing every possible Control. Actions should be proportionate to Risk and organisational objectives.
Practical Perspective
Maximum Risk reduction is not always the best decision. Conscious acceptance or transfer may be more justified.
