risk minimization

risk minimization
A *risk management technique that reduces the likelihood of occurrence of a *risk or reduces the potential impact of a *risk. If a risk has been managed to acceptable levels of *residual risk, the incremental costs of attempting *risk elimination may be unacceptably high. For example, an organization may significantly reduce levels of inventory *shrinkage by establishing robust security measures around a warehouse. Once an acceptable level of shrinkage has been achieved, it may be too costly to spend more on security measures, as additional investment may result in an unacceptably small benefit.
