Assess the severity of the risks. Once you have identified the risks that your client faces, you need to assess the severity of those risks. This can be done by considering the likelihood of the risk occurring and the potential impact of the risk on your client's financial situation.
Develop strategies to mitigate the risks. The next step is to develop strategies to mitigate the risks that your client faces. These strategies can include avoiding the risk, reducing the likelihood of the risk occurring, or transferring the risk to another party.
Monitor and review your risk management plan. The final step in the risk management process is to monitor and review your risk management plan. This should be done on a regular basis to ensure that the plan is still effective and that it is meeting your client's needs.
