Got it 👍 — if we focus only on risk-related items (risk elimination / risk reduction through automation), here’s a refined list you can use:

---

🔹 Risk Eliminations through BCM Automation

1. Human Error Risk

   • Eliminates mistakes like selecting wrong database, skipping steps, or executing at wrong time.

2. Execution Delay Risk

   • Automated scheduling ensures switchovers/snapshots happen exactly on time, reducing outage windows.

3. Wrong Environment Risk

   • Pre-checks ensure correct primary–standby pairing before execution, avoiding accidental operations on the wrong environment.

4. Unavailability / Downtime Risk

   • Faster, consistent execution reduces the risk of extended downtime during critical operations.

5. Knowledge Dependency Risk

   • Removes reliance on individual expertise; process logic is system-driven, not person-dependent.

6. Audit & Compliance Risk

   • Automated logging creates tamper-proof records, reducing risk of non-compliance or audit gaps.

7. Unauthorized Access Risk

   • Removes need for direct manual intervention in production, reducing security exposure.

8. Rollback Failure Risk

   • Automation can embed safety checks and rollback steps, reducing the risk of irreversible failure.

9. Inconsistent Process Risk

   • Standardized automation ensures the same steps every time, eliminating deviations.

10. Missed DR Readiness Risk

    • Frequent automated switchovers/tests reduce the risk of discovering issues only during real disaster recovery.

11. Operational Availability Risk

    • 24x7 automation avoids dependency on DBA availability (holidays, off-hours), ensuring continuity.

👉 This way, your automation is positioned directly as a risk reduction/control mechanism, not just an efficiency improvement.

Would you like me to map these risks to common risk categories (e.g., Operational Risk, Compliance Risk, Availability Risk, Security Risk) so it fits into a formal risk register / audit report?
