ORX Reference Taxonomy
An award-winning operational risk taxonomy for the current risk landscape
The ORX Reference Taxonomy for operational and non-financial risks is made up of the Event Type Taxonomy and the Cause and Impact Taxonomy.
The Event Type Taxonomy covers level 1 and level 2 risks, including more 'contemporary' risks, such as conduct, cyber and third party. The Cause and Impact Taxonomy complements the Event Type Taxonomy and covers causes and impacts to provide even more insight.
A resource for the whole industry
Part of our mission at ORX is to support the management and measurement of operational risk beyond our membership. So, the ORX Reference Taxonomy, consisting of both the Event Type and the Cause and Impact Taxonomies, is available for you to download and start using at your firm for free.
