SDP Risk Assessment (Step 4, 5 and 6)

Following each Monitoring View, SDM develops the SDP Risk Management Plan. This plan identifies critical issues affecting CP1 implementation, evaluates potential delays and proposes effective mitigation actions, drawing on expert analysis and targeted engagement with impacted stakeholders.

The data gathered from the operational stakeholders and reported in the SDP Monitoring View represents the starting point for the assessment. Several parameters, such as the foreseen implementation target date compared with the CP1 regulatory target date, the actual progress reached by the end of the reporting cycle compared with the expected progress, are considered and combined in a quantitative assessment to evaluate the initial risk levels associated to each open gap.

The results stemming from the quantitative assessment are combined with the qualitative assessment performed by SDM experts.

SDM then engages with stakeholders and States involved in the implementations considered at risk to:

• Offer technical support to stakeholders

• Alert stakeholders and States about potential risks

• Maintain a register of all CP-related risks in Europe, and defining mitigation actions to be activated

• Establish an iterative and inclusive process that foster collaboration and mutual awareness at States’ level including all impacted Stakeholders

After the multilateral exchanges with the impacted operational Stakeholders, the risk assessment is consolidated thanks to the feedback received and the final results are embedded in the SDAR Update to be released to EC in November.
