Introduction to the Risk Module

The Risk Management module helps you assess threats to your organisation’s compliance and operations — whether it’s GDPR-related data risks or broader security risks under NIS2.

The .legal Risk Module is a centralised risk management tool for identifying, assessing, and managing risks across your organisation — covering processing activities, IT/OT assets, and compliance frameworks such as GDPR and NIS2. It gives your team a single place to document risks, assign ownership, and track remediation progress.

The .legal Risk Module supports:

  • Risk assessments on processing activities (typically related to personal data)
  • Risk assessments on assets (typically IT/OT systems or infrastructure)

You can also assign each risk to a compliance domain, such as GDPR, NIS2 or internal frameworks.

What is the .legal Risk Module used for?

The .legal Risk Module helps organisations systematically identify, prioritise, and respond to risks — whether related to data processing, IT/OT assets, or regulatory compliance obligations.

  • Identify and assess risks across the organisation
  • Prioritise which threats to act on
  • Document likelihood, impact and mitigating actions
  • Create tasks directly from risks
  • Monitor changes over time using version history, which records each update to a risk assessment so you can track how risks evolve

Whether you’re preparing for an audit, tracking threats from vendors, or ensuring your systems meet your own InfoSec policies — the .legal Risk Module is your central hub for managing it all.

How does the .legal Risk Module handle GDPR vs. NIS2 compliance?

Each risk template lets you define whether it applies to GDPR, NIS2, or another compliance framework. This means you can tailor your risk assessments to the specific regulatory obligations most relevant to your organisation and report on them separately. For example, you can run a GDPR-focused risk review across all processing activities while simultaneously managing NIS2 obligations for your IT/OT assets — all within the same module.
