What Target Exposure Is
Target exposure is the level you expect a risk to reach once your treatment plan is complete. Alongside inherent exposure (before treatment) and residual exposure (today), it shows where a risk is heading.
Set a Target
- Open the risk form.
- In the assessment section, set the target likelihood and target impact from 1 to 5.
- Save. ISO Mate computes the target score and level band the same way it does for inherent and residual exposure.
Target is optional. Leave it unset for risks where a target is not yet defined.
See the Trajectory
The risk view shows inherent, residual, and target side by side, so you can read the intended direction at a glance. Reports include a target level breakdown.
Compare on the Heatmap
The heatmap has a layer toggle for inherent, residual, and target. Switch to the target layer to see the posture you are working towards, and compare it with your current residual posture.
