Residual Risk is the level of risk that remains after a vendor’s controls, safeguards, or remediation actions have been applied. It reflects the true, final exposure an organization accepts when engaging a vendor, even after due diligence and mitigation efforts are complete. Residual risk is used to determine whether a vendor aligns with the organization’s risk appetite or if additional controls, compensating measures, or risk acceptance are necessary.
