    About this task

    Use the risk appetite status to define the final risk status of the entities, risks, and risk statements that are based on the defined risk appetite. The appetite status helps you to monitor the risk and to define further actions to bring the risk within the appetite.

    The risk appetite statuses that are shipped by default are as follows:
    • Outside appetite
    • Outside tolerance
    • Within appetite
    Note:
    A risk appetite status can't be deleted but can be retired or created. When you create a risk appetite status, customization of the application is required to enable it for status computation.

    1. Navigate to All > Advanced Risk Assessment > Administration > Risk Appetite Status.
