| Accept | A response to a threat where no course of action is taken. |
| Risk appetitie | The tendency of an individual or group to take risk in a given situation. |
| Risk attitude | The response of an individual or group to a given uncertain situation. |
| Risk context | Describes the institutional and individual environment, attitudes and behaviours that affect the way risk arises and the way it should be managed. |
| Risk efficiency | The principle of risk-taking to achieve the minimum level of exposure to risk for a given level of expected return. |
| Contingency | Resource set aside for responding to identified risks. |
| Enhance | A response to an opportunity that increases its probability, impact or both on the project. |

| Risk analysis | An assessment and synthesis of risk events to gain an understanding of their individual significance and their combined impact on objectives. |

| Risk management | A process that allows individual risk events and overall risk to be understood and managed proactively, optimising success by minimising threats and maximising opportunities. |
| Risk register | A document listing identified risk events and their corresponding planned responses. |
| Risk response | An action or set of actions to reduce the probability or impact of a threat or to increase the probability or impact of an opportunity. |
| Risk techniques | Used to identify, assess and plan responses to individual risks and overall risk. |
| Share | A response to an opportunity that increases its probability, impact or both on the project by sharing the risk with a third party. |
| Threat | A negative risk; a risk that if it occurs will have a detrimental effect on the objectives. |
