Explanation

TOGAF defines two levels of risk in its risk management approach. The 'initial level of risk' is assessed before any mitigation strategies are applied - it represents the raw risk exposure. After mitigating actions are identified and implemented, the remaining exposure is called the 'residual level of risk.' Understanding this distinction is essential: initial risk is the starting point, residual risk is what remains after controls are applied.
