PROCESS RISK PRIORITIZATION APPLICATION
First Claim
1. An apparatus for prioritizing processes based on risk, the apparatus comprising:
- a computing device including a memory and at least one processor; and
a process risk prioritization application stored in the memory, executable by the processor, configured to determine risk priority for a plurality of processes and including;
a risk weighting routine configured to receive, from one or more second level entities, an importance indicator for each of a plurality of a risk prioritization factors in comparison to each of the other risk prioritization factors and determine a risk weighting for each of the risk prioritization factors based on the importance indicators;
a risk score routine configured to receive, from one or more first level entities, an applicability score for each of a plurality of predefined processes in relation to each of the predetermined risk prioritization factors and determine a risk score for each of the processes based on the applicability score and the risk weighting; and
a risk priority routine configured to determine a risk priority for each of the processes based on the risk scores.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for prioritizing processes in terms of risk. Specifically, present embodiments provide assessment of process applicability to risk factors and an independent assessment of the relative importance of the risk factors. The two independent assessments, conducted by separate corporate entities, such as line-of-business and risk owners, are subsequently used to determine a process risk score that allows for the processes to be prioritized. The independent nature of the assessments provides for a highly objective, fact-based means of prioritizing processes based on risk.

11. A method for prioritizing processes based on risk, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at a first entity level, an applicability score for each of a plurality of processes in relation to each of a plurality of predetermined risk prioritization factors; receiving, at a second entity level, an importance indicator for each of the risk prioritization factors in comparison to each of the other risk prioritization factors; determining, via a computing device processor, a risk weighting for each of the risk prioritization factors based on the importance indicators; determining, via a computing device processor, a risk score for each of the processes based on the applicability score and the risk weighting; and determining, via a computing device processor, a risk priority for the processes based on the risk scores. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
