  • Filter by category, owner role, and sort order
  • Grid view with mitigation summary on each card
  • Add to register without re-entering scenario details

What you can do

Risk Management covers the full lifecycle — from catalog scenarios and assessment to mitigation tracking and archival.

Risk library

Pre-built scenarios

Start from a catalog of common security and compliance risk scenarios. Filter by category and owner role, review suggested mitigations, and add scenarios that apply to your organization.

  • 250+ catalog scenarios across categories
  • Grid and list views with search and sort
  • One-click add to your risk register

Available in workspace

Risk register

Active risk inventory

Maintain a centralized register of risks your organization is tracking. See treatment type, status, owner, and mitigation progress at a glance with summary counts by severity.

  • High, medium, and low risk summaries
  • Search across name, category, CIA, and status
  • Archive completed or retired risks

Available in workspace

Risk scoring

Likelihood & impact

Score each risk using likelihood and impact to calculate risk value. Track residual risk after controls and map Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) impact.

  • Calculated risk value with severity bands
  • Residual likelihood and impact tracking
  • CIA impact badges per risk

Available in workspace

Mitigation tracking

Treatment & actions

Document how each risk is treated — mitigate, transfer, avoid, or accept — and track mitigation actions through to completion with clear status workflow.

  • Treatment plan types per risk
  • Structured mitigation action items
  • In-process, mitigated, and closed statuses

Available in workspace

Ownership

Roles & accountability

Assign owner roles and named users to each risk so accountability is clear for audits, control reviews, and day-to-day remediation follow-up.

  • Owner role assignment per scenario
  • Named user ownership on register entries
  • Filter library by owner role

Available in workspace

Lifecycle & archive

Stay current

Keep your register focused on active risks while preserving history. Archive retired entries and monitor update dates as your risk posture evolves.

  • Archive view for historical risks
  • Last-updated tracking on each entry
  • Custom tenant scenarios alongside catalog
