Explains how to perform risk assessment in enterprise architecture using TOGAF's Risk Management technique. Covers initial risk assessment during Phases E and F, measuring impact and frequency on 1-5 scales, combining these factors into risk classifications (critical, high, moderate, low), and visualizing risks using Risk Heat Maps. Details risk monitoring during Phases G and H, calculating risk scores using the formula Risk = Impact × Frequency, and plotting risks on heat maps to prioritize mitigation efforts based on organizational risk tolerance.
