## Risk Analysis Methodologies

**[Configure FMEA Workflows](/risksheet/guides/risk-management/fmea-configuration)** -- 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](/risksheet/guides/risk-management/hara-configuration)** -- 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](/risksheet/guides/risk-management/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](/risksheet/guides/risk-management/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](/risksheet/guides/risk-management/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](/risksheet/guides/risk-management/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](/risksheet/guides/risk-management/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](/risksheet/guides/risk-management/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](/risksheet/guides/risk-management/remove-delete-risk)** -- Control how risk items are removed from the grid using hard delete, soft delete, or status-based removal strategies to maintain audit trail integrity.

<Tip title="Start with a Template">
  Risksheet 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](/risksheet/getting-started/basic-configuration) for template setup instructions.
