inherent and residual risk(s)
or 'gross and net risk(s)'
Example sentence:
The formula to calculate residual risk is (inherent risk) x (control risk) where inherent risk is (threats × vulnerability).
The gross and net risk scores can then be used to prioritise all risks across the organisation.

I have used the word 'untreated' as this refers to health risks as well. it may be in the form of a malady which is incurable and for which no solution has been found.
