Lesson 5: Creating a Risk Characterization Report

After risk characterization is complete, assessors communicate results to risk managers, who, in turn, share results with interested parties — or the risk managers pass them along to risk communicators, who then share them with interested parties.

Usually the results of the risk assessment are summarized in a risk assessment report (sometimes referred to as a risk characterization report). The report can either be brief or extensive, depending on the nature of, and the resources available for, the assessment. Risk assessors determine the level of detail required.
