Risk summary

This snapshot shows:

  • Your organization’s total number of risks

  • The number of Healthy, At Risk, and Critical risks

  • The status of the average Inherent Risk, Risk Tolerance, and Actual Risk

Residual risk

The Residual risk is the amount of risk remaining once mitigating controls or control scopes have been applied. This amount is automatically calculated based on existing inputs, including the level of Inherent risk, the mitigation factor of any controls or control scopes you linked to the risk, and the health status of linked controls and control scopes.

Here is a breakdown of how Hyperproof determines the risk amount:

  • If a control or control scope is Healthy, 100% of the mitigation factor is attributed to the risk.

  • If a control or control scope is At risk, 50% of the mitigation factor is attributed to the risk.

  • If a control or control scope is Critical, 0% of the mitigation factor is attributed to the risk.

  • If the total of all mitigation factors for linked controls or control scopes is 100%, and all controls and control scopes are Healthy, the Actual risk will be very low.

  • If the sum of all mitigation factors of linked controls and control scopes is 0%, or all linked controls and control scopes are Critical, the Actual risk will be the same as the Inherent risk.

For more information, refer to Calculating the overall risk.

Response

This snapshot displays how your organization chooses to address its risks.

  • Transfer - Risks that have been turned over to another party

  • Accept - Risks that have been accepted because their repercussions aren’t considerable

  • Avoid - Risks that are intended to be averted; no controls or control scopes are put in place

  • Mitigate - Risks with controls and control scopes to avoid adverse repercussions

Risk health

Based on your total number of risks, this snapshot provides an overview of whether the Actual risk meets, remains below, or exceeds your Risk tolerance.

  • If the residual risk is less than or equal to the risk tolerance, the risk is Healthy.

  • If the residual risk is greater than the risk tolerance, the risk is Critical. The residual risk is not set if the likelihood or impact is not set.

  • If either the residual risk or the risk tolerance is not set, the risk is At risk.

Controls


controls-risk-register-widget.png


This widget displays the number of controls and control scopes, by status, that are linked to risks.

The numbers are clickable links. When you click a link, you can view a list of the controls and control scopes associated with that particular status. Clicking a control ID opens an overview of the control.

Risk heatmap


risk-heatmap-widget.png


This snapshot shows a graphical representation of your risks presented as a heatmap. The Likelihood and Impact are mapped to an Inherent risk value.

Explore by panel


risk-register-explore-by.png


The Explore by panel allows you to view risk snapshots based on the following filters: Category, Response, Owner, and Group.

For example, you might want to assess the risks associated with a particular risk category, e.g., Operational. To do so, select the checkbox next to that category. Once the checkbox is selected, you’ll see the snapshots update.
