The greatest risk comes from not performing risk classification on the findings. Without classification, the organization cannot prioritize remediation efforts, allocate resources effectively, or understand the business impact of the vulnerabilities.
"Risk classification helps determine the priority for mitigating vulnerabilities and enables risk-informed decisions."
- CISM Review Manual 15th Edition, Chapter 2: Risk Assessment and Analysis* Even if some findings are unfixed or reclassified, the lack of any classification process undermines the whole risk management effort.
