Risk Analysis Methodologies

Configure FMEA Workflows — Set up Failure Mode and Effects Analysis with severity, occurrence, and detection scales, RPN calculation formulas, and conditional formatting for risk prioritization per the AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook. Configure HARA Workflows — Configure Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment for automotive functional safety per ISO 26262 with ASIL determination, hazard classification, and safety goal traceability. Implement STRIDE Analysis — Configure Risksheet for cybersecurity threat analysis using the STRIDE methodology (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, Elevation of Privilege) per ISO/SAE 21434.

​
Risk Configuration

Configure Multiple Risk Types — Define multiple risk item types within a single Risksheet for complex analysis scenarios that require separate failure mode categories, different rating scales, or distinct column layouts. Set Up Risk Matrices — Configure severity, occurrence, and detection rating scales with RPN calculation formulas and conditional formatting rules to visualize risk levels through color-coded matrices. Set Up Action Priority Matrix — Implement action priority as an alternative to traditional RPN scoring, aligning with the AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook recommendation for action priority over numeric risk ranking.

​
Downstream Mitigation

Configure Downstream Tasks — Set up mitigation task tracking linked to risk items with type configuration, role assignment, and status monitoring for corrective and preventive actions. Configure Multiple Downstream Types — Define separate downstream item categories (such as verification tasks, design changes, and process controls) for stepwise risk mitigation workflows with distinct tracking for each category. Configure Remove/Delete Actions — Control how risk items are removed from the grid using hard delete, soft delete, or status-based removal strategies to maintain audit trail integrity.
Start with a TemplateRisksheet includes built-in templates for FMEA, HARA, and STRIDE analysis. Use these as starting points and customize the rating scales, formulas, and column layout to match your organization’s risk methodology. See Basic Configuration for template setup instructions.
