Dashboard Widgets: Controls Linked to Risks

Charts controls by the number of risks they are linked to. Use this Risk Manager dashboard widget to see which controls cover the most risk and where single points of failure sit.

Written by Hylet Pistorius

The Controls Linked to Risks widget displays a chart of controls linked to risks. Use it to see how your controls map to your risk profile.

What this widget is for

Add this widget to your dashboard when you want visibility of how well your risks are covered by controls. For example, a risk manager can use it alongside the risk distribution widgets to see how much of the control set is connected to identified risks. This widget requires the Risk Manager feature.

What the widget shows

The widget displays a donut or bar chart showing the controls that are linked to risks. A legend identifies the segments, and you can choose whether the legend appears at the top or to the right of the chart.
