Create KRIs

To aid organizations in monitoring the status of risks, Risk Management allows for the creation of Key Risk Indicators (KRIs). A KRI tracks the levels of specific aspects of a risk (e.g., profit loss, percentage of employees who completed training) and sends an alert when these risk levels cross acceptable thresholds. The Risk Team can create KRIs for risks in the Review and Monitoring workflow state. 

KRIs can also be created by Risk Owners for risks in the Assess Risk workflow state. While the exact procedure will vary from organization to organization, it is recommended that the risk team creates KRIs.
