The concept that risk responses, regulatory and legal frameworks should be appropriate in all the circumstances, taking account both of the level of importance of a matter, and the costs or other burdens of the requirements or enforcement imposed.


"The onshored UK EMIR REFIT brings into UK legislation amendments to UK EMIR that make the regime more proportionate for certain firms...

(UK EMIR REFIT - Financial Conduct Authority.)


"The UK Bribery Act 2010 requires that the procedures an organisation puts in place to combat bribery should be proportionate to the risks the organisation faces.. "

(Proportionate procedures - Treasurer's Wiki.)

More broadly, the avoidance of extremes of any kind.

"[Balance is a] situation of compromise or proportionality, rather than of extremes."
