How to Create and Use Risk Templates

• Which type of risks you assess (e.g. GDPR, NIS2, internal)
• What object you assess (processing activity or asset)
• The list of risk scenarios to evaluate

You must create a template before any assessments can begin.

How to Create a Template

• Go to Risk
• Choose:
  • Compliance domain (e.g. GDPR, NIS2)
  • Scope: Processing Activities or Assets
• Select the blue button Risk Template
• Add risk scenarios
  
  

Templates define which risks are assessed and how

Good Practice

• Create separate templates for GDPR and NIS2
• Use concise and actionable risk scenario names
• Keep templates versioned and up-to-date with your policies
