Patent ID: 8572749

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; a storage storing a plurality of risk assessment queries; and at least one memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: identify one or more risk assessment queries from the plurality of risk assessment queries for assessing risk of a process; provide the identified risk assessment queries to a device for presentation; receive response data from the device, the response data comprising responses to the identified risk assessment queries; determine response values for at least some of the identified risk assessment queries based on the received response data; calculate a process weighted average by taking a sum of a series of response values multiplied by a number of responses associated with each of the response values, and dividing the sum by a number of responses associated with a non-zero response value; and calculate a process risk metric for the process based on the determined response values by adding a process total severity value to the process weighted average.
