Risk assessment and treatment

1 - In the risk assessment/analysis part, the risks value has been evaluated. Now, in the risk treatment table (options), it is required to indicate again the impact and likelihood level. Why? Is this a copy/paste task to list only unacceptable risks (excluding all risks under a defined value)

Answer: You understanding is correct. The process uses this copy paste activity so that in the risk treatment table you can concentrate on the most needed information, the risks considered unacceptable in the Risk assessment table, and the adopted treatment options.

2 - Additionally, the risk treatment table requires to set values after treatment, but how can I already do that before having a detailed plan with exact measures?

Answer: These values you set in the after treatment columns are what you expect to achieve after controls implementation. They will help you define the details of your implementation plan (e.g., resources to be allocated, technologies to be adopted, etc.). After controls implementation, with data from performance monitoring and measurement, you can verify if these values were achieved or if your implementation needs adjustments.
