risikomäßige

Risikomäßige is a German adjective describing something that relates to or is based on risk. It is formed from Risiko (risk) and the suffix -mäßig, which yields meanings such as risk-related, risk-based, or risk-oriented. The attributive form risikomäßige is commonly used before a noun, for example risikomäßige Bewertung (risk-based assessment) or risikomäßige Kriterien (risk-based criteria). The related adverbial form risikomäßig also appears in some contexts.

In practice, risikomäßige formulations occur in risk management, finance, engineering, and IT security. They signal that the object in question is evaluated or designed with consideration of potential hazards, probabilities, and impacts rather than being purely deterministic. Typical uses include phrases like risikomäßige Einschätzung, risikomäßige Priorisierung, risikomäßige Maßnahmen, and risikomäßige Berücksichtigung. Such terminology supports a focus on prioritizing actions and resources according to identified risks.

Relation to other terms: risikomäßig is closely related to risikobasiert and risikoorientiert, which also describe approaches that emphasize risk in decision making. While risikobasiert emphasizes a risk-based basis for methods or decisions, risikomäßig highlights the characteristic of being risk-oriented or risk-informed. The choice among these terms often depends on regional usage, field, and stylistic preferences in technical writing.
