Scattered risk data
Risks tracked in email threads, shared drives, and disconnected spreadsheets. No single source of truth, no version control, no audit trail.
RISK MANAGEMENT
ICT RISK MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE FOR DORA AND NIS2 COMPLIANCE
Replace scattered spreadsheets with a structured, auditable risk register. Automated 5×5 scoring, visual heatmaps, multi-framework control mapping, and board-ready reports generated in seconds.
What is ICT Risk Management? ICT risk management is the systematic process of identifying, assessing, treating, and monitoring risks to an organisation's information and communication technology systems. Under DORA Article 6 and NIS2 Article 21, EU financial entities and essential service operators must maintain a formal ICT risk management framework with documented risk registers, scoring methodologies, control mappings, and board-level reporting.
DORA Art. 6NIS2 Art. 21ISO 27001 Cl. 6.1
THE PROBLEM
RISK MANAGEMENT SHOULDN’T LIVE IN SPREADSHEETS
Manual scoring
Likelihood and impact calculated by hand. Inconsistent scales, formula errors, and no automatic recalculation when assumptions change.
Board reporting pain
Hours copying data into slides before every meeting. Outdated heatmaps, missing context, and no confidence the numbers are current.
CORE MODULE
CENTRALIZED ICT RISK REGISTER WITH AUTOMATED SCORING
Every ICT risk in one place. Title, threat source, vulnerability, likelihood and impact scoring on a 1 to 5 scale, automatic risk level classification. Track treatment decisions (Mitigate, Accept, Transfer, Avoid, Escalate), residual risk scores, and review dates. Assign ownership so nothing falls through the cracks.
- 9 risk categories (Operational, Cyber, Vendor, Data, Legal, Strategic, Compliance, Physical, Environmental)
- 5-stage lifecycle: Identified, Assessed, Treatment Planned, Treatment Implemented, Closed
- Automatic score calculation (likelihood x impact = inherent risk)
- Risk ownership assignment with overdue review alerts
- Full audit trail on every change
VISUALIZATION
5x5 RISK HEATMAP FOR VISUAL RISK ASSESSMENT
Visual likelihood and impact matrix with color-coded severity zones from green through amber to red. Instantly spot where risks concentrate in critical zones. Click any cell to drill into the underlying risks. Board-ready visualization you can export or present directly.
- Color-coded 5x5 matrix (Low, Medium, High, Very High, Critical)
- Interactive: click any cell to view risks at that intersection
- Filter by category, owner, framework, or treatment status
- Export as image or include in board report with one click
- Residual vs. inherent heatmap comparison view
ASSET MANAGEMENT
ICT ASSET INVENTORY WITH CIA TRIAD RATINGS
Complete IT inventory with Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability ratings on a 1 to 5 scale. Set RTO and RPO targets per asset. Link every asset to its provider, supporting business functions, and the risks it faces. Build a dependency map that shows exactly what breaks when a system goes down.
- 7 asset types: Application, Infrastructure, Network, Data, Cloud, Endpoint, IoT
- CIA triad ratings (1 to 5) for each asset
- Dependency mapping between assets, providers, and functions
- End-of-life tracking with automated alerting
- Critical asset flagging with escalation workflows
CONTROL MAPPING
CROSS-FRAMEWORK CONTROL MAPPING FOR DORA, NIS2, AND ISO 27001
One control can satisfy DORA, NIS2, and ISO 27001 simultaneously. Track implementation status, effectiveness ratings, and supporting evidence for each control. Multi-framework control mapping eliminates duplicate work and gives you a single view of your security posture. Explore the full control library on the control crosswalk page.
- Cross-framework control library with 150+ pre-mapped controls
- Implementation status tracking: Not Started, In Progress, Implemented, Effective
- Effectiveness ratings with evidence attachment
- Gap analysis: which risks lack adequate controls
- Control ownership and review scheduling
THIRD-PARTY RISK
AUTOMATED THIRD-PARTY ICT RISK SCORING
Five-dimension risk model: Criticality (30%), Geographic Risk (20%), Concentration (20%), Contract Health (15%), Data Sensitivity (15%). Every provider scored automatically. Concentration risk analysis identifies single points of failure across your supply chain before regulators do. See full capabilities on the third-party risk management page.
- Sub-outsourcing chain tracking with n-th party visibility
- Exit strategy documentation and substitutability scoring
- Geographic concentration alerts (country and provider level)
- Contract health monitoring: expiry, SLA compliance, audit rights
- Automatic re-scoring when provider data changes
REPORTING
ONE-CLICK BOARD REPORTS FOR ICT RISK
Generate professional DOCX reports with risk heatmap, top 10 risks by severity, control coverage summary, and actionable recommendations. Export the full risk register to Excel with color-coded severity and multi-sheet breakdowns. Save hours before every board meeting. See all reporting capabilities on the board dashboard page.
- DOCX reports with embedded heatmap and charts
- Multi-sheet Excel export: risks, controls, treatments, assets
- Risk-to-control mapping sheet for auditor handoff
- Risk snapshot history for trend comparison
- Scheduled report generation and email delivery
TREND ANALYSIS
RISK SNAPSHOTS FOR TREND ANALYSIS AND AUDIT EVIDENCE
Capture a point-in-time snapshot of your entire risk posture with one click. Compare quarters side by side to show the board how risk is trending. Every snapshot freezes the heatmap, top risks, control status, and asset inventory so you have a complete audit trail of how your programme evolved.
- One-click snapshot of all risks, controls, and assets
- Side-by-side quarterly comparison with trend arrows
- Demonstrates ongoing risk monitoring for DORA Art. 6
- Named snapshots: "Pre-Incident", "Post-Remediation", "Q4 Review"
- Historical trend line showing risk count over time
GOVERNANCE
RISK APPETITE SETTINGS AND GOVERNANCE CONFIGURATION
Define your organisation's risk appetite with clear thresholds. Risks below the acceptance threshold need no action. Risks above the escalation threshold trigger board-level review. The visual zone bar makes it instantly clear where every risk sits relative to your tolerance, eliminating ambiguity and missed escalations.
- Three zones: Accept (green), Treat (amber), Escalate (red)
- Configurable acceptance and escalation score thresholds
- Conservative, Moderate, or Aggressive appetite presets
- CRO/Board approval tracking with audit trail
- Quarterly review reminders with overdue alerting

“We went from a 300-row spreadsheet and monthly fire drills before board meetings to a live risk dashboard with one-click reports. The heatmap alone transformed how our board engages with ICT risk. What used to take two days now takes five minutes.”
