With the increasing availability of big data and sophisticated software analytics, such as machine learning, modern risk assessment are automated and easy to use for people who have limited technical knowledge on risk management.

For example, Deloitte has developed a continuous risk assessment tool as an enhancement of its traditional risk assessment processes through the inclusion of quantitative metrics i.e. key risk indicators, to better assess the risk universe. ORM has moved away from traditional risk assessment towards risk-based strategic decision making.
