Risk Acceptance Approval Matrix Updates

Steve Truong requested to merge sttruong-master-patch-09854 into master

Why is this change being made?

This update re-works the Risk Acceptance Approval Matrix to the following:

Risk Level Approval Level Required
HIGH Risk Owner + Director Level Approval*
MODERATE Risk Owner + Manager Level Approval**
LOW Risk Owner + Risk & Field Security Team Member
  • * If the Risk Owner is a Director, no additional Director level approval is required
  • ** If the Risk Owner is a Manager, no additional Manager level approval is required

This change is being made to streamline the acceptance process and reduces the amount of approvals needed to be obtained without sacrificing the visibility at each risk level.
