Risk Matrices
The Risk Matrices page in CyberGuard.ai provides a centralized repository for defining and managing the risk evaluation models used across the platform. A risk matrix helps organizations quantify and visualize risk levels by correlating the likelihood of an event with its impact on business operations, enabling a standardized approach to risk assessment.
Each record in this section represents a unique risk model, including its name, description, provider, and associated domain. By maintaining customized or framework-based risk matrices, organizations can ensure consistency in evaluating risks during audits, governance reviews, and compliance assessments.
This page forms the foundation for CyberGuard.ai’s Risk Management module, allowing risk assessors to align threat and vulnerability evaluations with structured scoring models.
Usage Notes
Creating a New Risk Matrix
Click Add Matrix to define a new risk evaluation structure.
Provide the matrix name, description, and select a domain or framework as context.
Define impact levels (e.g., Low, Medium, High) and likelihood scales to form the scoring grid.
Editing and Viewing Existing Matrices
Use the view icon to inspect the configuration of an existing matrix.
Use the edit icon to adjust thresholds, scales, or descriptions as your organization’s risk policy evolves.
Filtering and Searching
Use the search bar to find a specific matrix by name or provider.
Apply filters to refine results by domain or framework association.
Integration with Risk Assessments
Risk matrices are used in the Risk Management module to evaluate and score identified risks.
This ensures that every assessment follows a consistent and traceable scoring methodology aligned with organizational standards.
Provider and Domain Mapping
The matrix may be associated with an external provider or internal domain, enabling alignment with both corporate and regulatory risk management models.
