Summary of Risk Assessment Project
A Risk Assessment Project allows organizations to assess multiple risks and controls at once, particularly in workshop-based Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) scenarios. This project replaces manual data entry with efficient data collection and collaborative input, enhancing accuracy and speeding up processes through a unified workspace. Note that this feature is available only in the Risk Workspace.

Key Features
- Simultaneous Assessments: Assess multiple risks and controls collectively, saving time and reducing manual data collection.
- Automated Error Handling: Minimize errors with automated error summaries before finalizing assessments.
- Streamlined Collaboration: Involve all required stakeholders to reduce unnecessary communications.
- Easy Navigation: Access different assessment stages without switching screens.
- Detailed Reporting: Generate comprehensive summary reports of assessment results.
- Reference Information: Access relevant information for each risk directly from the sidebar panel.
Key Outcomes
Using a Risk Assessment Project enables organizations to conduct thorough evaluations of risks, improve stakeholder engagement, and ensure a higher level of accuracy and efficiency in the risk assessment process. The structured workflow facilitates the creation, assessment, and reassessment of risks while allowing for easy reassignment of assessors if needed.
Personas Involved
- Project Owner: Manages the project, including setup and stakeholder identification.
- Assessor: Conducts assessments and analyzes risks and controls.
- Approver: Reviews and signs off on completed assessments.
Roles Required
- Risk Assessment Project Reader: Provides read-only access to projects.
- Risk Assessment Project User: Creates and manages their own projects.
- Risk Assessment Project Manager: Has full control over all projects, including creation and deletion.
You can perform assessments on multiple risks and controls simultaneously by creating a risk assessment project. Risk assessment project enables assessors to review multiple risks and controls to understand their potential impact, likelihood, and associated mitigation strategies.
Overview of a risk assessment project
A Risk assessment project is a structured process designed to assess multiple risks and controls simultaneously, particularly within workshop-based RCSA (Risk and Control Self-Assessment) environments. It replaces manual data entry and fragmented workflows by enabling efficient data collection, collaborative input from stakeholders, and automated reporting. A Risk assessment project simplifies coordination, speeds up processes, and improves data accuracy by providing a unified workspace for evaluating risks collectively and reliably.
Benefits of a risk assessment project
- Simplifies the RCSA process by enabling multiple risks and controls to be assessed at the same time, which saves time on manual data collection.
- Reduces the chances of errors and inconsistencies by using automated error handling and providing comprehensive error summaries before finalizing assessments.
- Reduces unnecessary back-and-forth interactions among stakeholders by involving all required participants in the assessment project.
- Enables navigation between different stages of risk assessments and access multiple risks and controls simultaneously, without switching screens.
- Provides detailed summary reports on the assessment results.
- Simplifies the process of signing off on all the risks together within the project.
- Enables access to reference information related to each risk in the sidebar panel.
Personas involved
- Project owner
- The project Owner creates and manages the risk assessment project. It includes setting up the project context, identifying relevant stakeholders, and defining the scope of risks that must be assessed.
- Assessor
- The project assessor performs assessment on multiple risks and controls within the risk assessment project. They analyze each risk, evaluate the effectiveness of existing controls, and create risk response strategies.
- Approver
- The Project Approver reviews the completed risk assessments and provides the final sign-off on the project. They ensure that all scoped risks have been assessed and either approve or reject the risk assessment.
Roles required
- Risk assessment project reader [sn_risk_advanced.risk_asmt_project_reader]: Provides read-only access to the risk assessment projects.
- Risk assessment project user [sn_risk_advanced.risk_asmt_project_user]: Provides the ability to create risk assessment projects and update or delete only the projects created by the user.
- Risk assessment project manager [sn_risk_advanced.risk_asmt_project_manager]: Provides the ability to create, update, and delete any risk assessment projects.
