  • {{historical_data_optional}}: Any historical data on past crises (optional).

Instructions

  3. Identify common vulnerabilities based on the company context and industry.
  4. Prioritize risks based on likelihood and impact, and suggest proactive mitigation measures.
  5. Provide a summary of the most critical risks and recommended actions.

Output format Provide a risk assessment report with sections: Risk Matrix, Vulnerability Analysis, Prioritized Risks, and Mitigation Strategies. Use tables and bullet points for clarity. Keep the tone analytical and practical.
