Roles and permissions
The following roles can link proof to a risk:
Anyone with manager or contributor permissions for the Risk Register or manager permissions for the individual risk
The recommended workflow for linking proof to a risk is to link the proof to a control and then link that control to the risk. However, if you need to link proof directly to a risk without a control, follow the steps below.
Tip: For more information, see the Linking proof to a risk video at the bottom of the page.
Linking proof to a risk
From the left menu, select Risk.
Select your Risk Register.
Select the Risks tab.
Select the risk you want to link proof to.
Select the Proof tab.
Hyperproof only supports uploading up to 1GB of proof in a single upload.
Add your proof in one of the following ways:
Drag and drop files onto the proof grid.
Click Add proof and select one of the following:
My Computer - To use proof stored on your computer, click My Computer in the upper-left corner.
This <object> - To use proof stored on objects linked to an evaluation or audit request, click This <object>.
Cloud storage integration - To use proof stored in an integration, such as Drive, select the integration’s icon from the Add integration section in the bottom-left corner. Optionally, turn on LiveSync to automatically keep your proof up to date.
Paste a link - Select this option to use a website URL as proof. The URL is rendered as a “Link” file type in Hyperproof; the only information shown in the file is the URL.
Paste an image - Select this option to use a screenshot as proof. Take a screenshot (Cmd-Shift-5 on Mac, Shift-S on Windows), copy it to the clipboard, and then paste it in Hyperproof. Chrome users may need to allow this functionality. If prompted by the browser, refresh the page after clicking Allow.
Existing proof - To reuse proof that already exists in your organization, select either Labels, Proof, My Controls, Vendors, Risks, Policies, or Programs from the left menu.
Note: When selecting existing proof on a policy, only effective and retired policy versions display.
Unlinking proof from a risk
From the left menu, select Risk.
Select your Risk Register.
Select the Risks tab.
Select the risk you want to unlink proof from.
Select the checkboxes next to the proof you want to unlink, and then click Unlink.
Click Confirm.
The proof is unlinked.
