Risks

Risks are potential events that may threaten your objectives — strategic, operational, financial or compliance-related.

Purpose

Section titled “Purpose”

A risk carries a category (e.g. IT/Cyber, Compliance), a probability, an impact, and a status along the mitigation lifecycle. Through MITIGATED_BY you link the risk to a mitigating measure.

Default view

Section titled “Default view”

Cards with category badge, risk-matrix indicator (probability × impact) and status. Filter by category, status and severity.

Important relationships

Section titled “Important relationships”
  • MITIGATED_BY (Risk → any measure) — “is mitigated by” / “mitigates”. The measure can be a value stream, role, policy or project — the constraint is only defined on the source side (Risk).
  • OWNS (Person → Risk) — risk owner
  • AFFECTS (Risk → anything) — what is threatened

Details: Relationship Types.
