What is the BowTie Methodology?
The BowTie methodology is a visual risk assessment approach that displays:
- Hazards in the center
- Threats on the left side
- Consequences on the right side
- Preventive controls before the top event
- Recovery or mitigation controls after the top event
This structure helps organizations clearly understand how risks are controlled and where weaknesses may exist.
