riskwhere

Riskwhere is a framework and tool for identifying, analyzing, and visualizing risk across locations, assets, or processes. It integrates data from multiple sources to produce location-based risk assessments.

The term riskwhere originated in risk management discourse to describe location-based risk mapping and has been adopted by software platforms to denote location-centric risk analytics rather than a single standard.

Methodology involves collecting data from internal systems, incident logs, and market or environmental sources, applying scoring models that weigh likelihood and impact, and aggregating results at the entity, process, or geographic level to produce heatmaps and dashboards. Scenario analysis and alerting are common components.

Applications span finance for regional risk assessment, supply chain risk management, insurance underwriting, public health and emergency response, and manufacturing or facility risk.

Limitations include dependence on data quality and model assumptions, potential privacy concerns, and the risk of misinterpreting maps without context. Integrating diverse data standards and maintaining governance are ongoing challenges.
