A Key Performance Indicator (KPI)  is a metric used to measure the performance and progress of an organization toward its strategic goals and objectives. KPIs are used to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of business processes, operations, and overall performance. Key risk indicators (KRI) are responsible for defining and communicating the risk posture of the organization to its stakeholders. They help everyone in the organization understand the organization’s risk management policies. While both KRIs and KPIs are metrics used for measurement, KRIs are primarily focused on monitoring and assessing risks and vulnerabilities, providing early warnings of potential problems. KPIs, on the other hand, are focused on measuring performance and progress toward strategic goals and objectives.
