Riskline Alert Risk Levels
Riskline’s methodology follows best practices from internationally recognized risk management procedures and categorizes risk into five levels: Low, Moderate, Medium, High, and Extreme. Each risk level is characterized as follows:
|
|
Safety and Security |
Travel Disruptions |
|---|---|---|
|
Extreme |
Extremely dangerous and presents unpredictable security risks |
Chaotic; travel impossible |
|
High |
Can be dangerous and may present unexpected security risks |
Travel is possible, but there is a potential for severe or widespread disruptions |
|
Medium |
Not completely safe, but typically presents predictable security risks |
Travel is possible, but there is a potential for disruptions |
|
Moderate |
Generally safe, with some predictable security risks |
Travel is possible with an expectation of routine disruptions and delays |
|
Low |
Safe, with very few risks |
Travel is possible with an expectation of routine disruptions and delays |
Safeture maps Riskline’s default risk levels from five to three in the platform, according to the following structure:
|
Riskline Risk Level |
