M_o_R® (Management of Risk), an AXELOS product, defines risk as "an uncertain event or set of events which, should it occur, will have an effect on the achievement of objectives. A risk is measured by the combination of the probability of a perceived threat or opportunity occurring and the magnitude of its impact on objectives". Within this definition, "threat" is used to describe an uncertain event that would have a negative impact on objectives and "opportunity" is used to describe an uncertain event that would have a favourable impact on objectives.

This updated version 4 provides a framework for decision-makers to understand how uncertainty, and risk arising from that uncertainty, might impact their objectives, and to use that framework to make proportionate plans in order to create and protect value.
