Decisions:
- Accept: acknowledge the risk, but do not take any action before it hits
- Mitigate: take measures to reduce the probability of occurrence or the potential damage
- Avoid: do something else without this risk, e.g. nothing
- Transfer: let someone else take care of it, e.g. insurance
- (Deny the risk: not allowed to choose, but many managers do this nevertheless...)
