Make the relationship visible.
Original examples for discussing a risk, a control and the records that support review. These are learning aids, not conformity checklists.
From scenario to review
01Risk
A former contractor retains workspace access.
02Control

03Owner
The editorial service owner makes retention decisions.
04Evidence
Member export, owner decisions and removals.
05Review
Revisit when supplier arrangements change.
Illustrative example: a fictional publishing team. This sequence is not an official framework.

A risk record that supports a decision
| Field | Example | Question to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Information | Unpublished manuscripts | Who depends on confidentiality? |
| Scenario | Expired supplier access remains active | What process allows this to happen? |
| Likelihood | Uncertain; recent access history needs review | Which assumptions need checking? |
| Impact | Potential disclosure and contractual consequences | What is the credible consequence? |
| Treatment | Improve notifications and membership reviews | Who approves and owns the work? |
| Residual risk | Access through shared links needs separate attention | What remains outside the control? |
