Overview

Matproof’s risk management module helps you identify, document, and track risks — with automatic linkage to the controls designed to mitigate them.

Risk register

The risk register is your central view of all identified risks. Each risk includes:
  • Risk ID — unique identifier
  • Category — cybersecurity, operational, compliance, financial, etc.
  • Description — what the risk is
  • Likelihood — probability (1-5)
  • Impact — severity (1-5)
  • Inherent risk score — Likelihood × Impact (before controls)
  • Residual risk score — risk remaining after controls
  • Owner — accountable person
  • Treatment — accept, mitigate, transfer, avoid
  • Controls — linked controls that reduce this risk
  • Status — open, in treatment, accepted, closed

Risk scoring

Matproof uses a 5×5 risk matrix:

Risk treatment

For each risk, select a treatment: Accepted risks require documented justification and periodic review.

Linking risks to controls

When you add a control to a risk, Matproof tracks how effective the control is at reducing the risk score. Example:

Framework mapping

Risks are automatically linked to relevant framework requirements:
  • ISO 27001 Annex A — risk treatment maps to controls
  • DORA Art. 5-6 — ICT risk management requirements
  • CSRD ESRS 2 — sustainability risk identification requirement

Risk assessment export

Export your risk register for:
  • Audit evidence (ISO 27001, SOC 2)
  • Board reporting
  • CSRD IRO documentation
  • DORA risk management report
