Risk Communication

Definitions

1. The practice of explaining security risk clearly to the people who need to understand, own, or act on it, such as engineers, leaders, auditors, or customers. Good risk communication translates technical issues into business impact without hiding the important technical detail.

   In plain English: Clearly explaining security risk to the people who need to understand or act on it.

   Example: "The security team improved risk communication by describing what customer workflows would fail if the unpatched gateway were compromised."
