Risk assessment
Names what can go wrong, estimates likelihood and impact and links control measures or a deliberate acceptance to them.

The candidate performs a representative work sample under standardised conditions.
Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Spots unsafe or deviating situations in the own work and reports them according to the applicable procedure. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Estimates the main risks for the own process, orders them by likelihood and impact and takes measures. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Sets the risk appetite and the assessment method for the organisation and accounts for accepted residual risks. sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession |
N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.
Underlying skills
These skills inherit the assessment route and the behavioural anchors of this construct.
| T | Skill | Definition | Demand outlook 2026 to 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|
| V | Building a risk matrix Risk matrix · Probability impact matrix | Places risks by likelihood and impact in a matrix and thereby determines which get attention first. | rising |
| V | Maintaining a risk register Risk register · Risk log | Keeps owner, measure, status and review date per risk in a register that stays current. | rising |
| V | Defining control measures Control measures · Risk mitigation | Chooses measures per risk that reduce likelihood or impact and assigns a responsible owner. | rising |
| V | Setting risk appetite Risk appetite · Risk tolerance | Agrees with the client which risk is acceptable and where the limit of tolerance lies. | rising |
| V | Performing an FMEA FMEA · Failure mode and effects analysis | Assesses per process step which failure modes can occur and scores them on likelihood, effect and detection. | stable |
| V | Applying bowtie analysis Bowtie analysis · Barrier analysis | Brings causes, unwanted event, consequences and barriers together in a bowtie model. | stable |
| V | Accounting for residual risk Residual risk · Risk acceptance | States which risk remains after measures, who accepts it and on what grounds. | rising |
| V | Stress testing against scenarios Stress testing · Shock scenario | Tests a plan or budget against a severe but plausible scenario and measures the consequences. | rising |
| V | Reporting risks to the client Risk reporting · Risk communication | Reports risks to client or board in time and understandably, with a proposal for control. | rising |
| V | Early risk detection Early risk detection · Risk sensing | Recognises from figures, reports and signals that a risk is growing and raises it before damage occurs. | rising |
