Risk Treatment Plan Template
Purpose and decision
Use this plan to turn a risk response decision into owned, trackable actions. Consider whether to avoid the activity, reduce likelihood or impact, share the exposure, or accept it within delegated authority. Select options based on objectives, feasibility, cost, dependencies, and residual exposure; this worksheet does not prescribe acceptance limits.
Completion steps
1. Reference the risk register ID and confirm the scenario and current assessment.
2. Compare feasible response options and document material trade-offs.
3. Define actions with observable completion evidence, an accountable role, resources, and dates.
4. Estimate the expected residual risk and name the authority that must accept it.
5. Track status and reassess after implementation or when a trigger occurs.
