What are the four types of risk identified in the risk quadrant approach?

Operational, strategic, marketing, and financial
Hazard, operational, financial, and strategic
Insurance, hazard, financial, and technical
Compliance, environmental, operational, and hazard

The correct answer is: Hazard, operational, financial, and strategic

The four types of risk identified in the risk quadrant approach include hazard, operational, financial, and strategic risks. Hazard risk pertains to risks arising from physical events or conditions that can result in loss or damage, such as accidents or natural disasters. Operational risk encompasses risks that affect the organization’s day-to-day operations, including risks from internal processes, systems, and people. Financial risk relates to risks that can impact the financial health of an organization, such as credit risk or market fluctuations. Finally, strategic risk involves risks associated with the overall strategy of the organization, including risks from competition or changes in the market environment. This classification helps organizations assess and manage different types of risks systematically, providing a clearer understanding of where vulnerabilities may lie and enabling more informed decision-making to mitigate those risks.
