2.2.1 Risk Identification

Identify risks such as:
- Data breaches.
- Project scope creep.
- Lack of technical expertise.

2.2.2 Risk Analysis

- Analyze the likelihood and impact of each identified risk. For instance, a data breach could
lead to severe legal and reputational damage.

2.2.3 Risk Planning

Plan mitigation strategies such as:
- Implementing advanced encryption methods for data security.
- Regular team check-ins to avoid scope creep.
- Training sessions for team members to develop necessary technical skills.
