Feature: Asset-based risk identification

For organizations that want to delegate risk assessment work to asset owners, we have developed a feature: asset-based risk identification. Asset-based risk identification enables more detailed risk identification and focus on key assets.

How to turn on the asset-based risk identification

Organization dashboard -> Settings

You can enable the asset-based risk identification from account settings. When this is enabled, all assets matching with the selections will show a separate risk identification section on their cards.

Risk management: Asset-based risk identification can be enabled from settings.

From settings, you will also choose documentation where risk identification is active and the priority level, which sets a level when the identification needs to be done.

If you enable asset-based risk identification  feature from settings, the selected asset's documentation cards will show a pending risk identification workflow.

How the asset-based risk identification is done

With the help of this workflow, asset owners identify detailed and relevant risks for this asset. Then they can continue normally forward with the risk workflow - straight from the asset's documentation card.

When document card has priority set to the accepted level, risk identification workflow will pop up to the documentation card.

Example how risk identification is shown in document card.

When you press "start risk identification" a list of suggested threats with summaries is shown. Now, it's time to choose which of these risks are relevant in this case. You can also create custom risk, if something relevant is missing.

Relevant threats are shown with descriptions.

Only after you've gone through all the suggested risks, picked the relevant ones and clicked "not relevant" on the rest, you can click "Create selected risks" and move forward.

Chosen risks can be worked on the document card.

Now that relevant asset-based risks are identified, you can delegate risks to relevant owners and work on the risks on the risk card from asset's documentation card.
