The Gatekeeper Risk add-on module provides a comprehensive suite of Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) Management, giving insights into a detailed breakdown of Risks across the vendor base and organisation. The module is an Add-On to Gatekeeper.
The Risk Register
The Risk module enables you to create, track, and visualise risks. Risks can be organised by type, category, or owner. Each risk is assigned a Risk Score, calculated from two key variables:
- Probability, i.e. the likelihood of the risk occurring.
- Impact i.e. the severity of the risk’s consequences.
This approach allows granular controls over risk calculation, and feeds into a visual Heat Map, helping stakeholders quickly assess and prioritise risks.
Each risk must have an owner and due date. Additionally, you can enhance risk records by adding custom data fields, either:
-
Globally across all risk types, or
-
Specifically for individual risk types.
This can capture additional context such as controls, mitigation, additional parties and more.
Risk Dashboard
The Risk Dashboard provides a centralised view of your Risk Management process, including an interactive Heat Map and breakdown by vendor.
