By following this three-part workflow, you can move from initial identification to audit-ready reporting.
Key Takeaways:
Build Your Register Fast: Leverage Drata’s library of over 200 pre-built risk scenarios to quickly identify threats specific to your organization.
Standardize Your Scoring: Use a consistent scoring matrix to calculate inherent and residual risk, allowing for data-driven prioritization.
Address Key Controls: Satisfy DCF-16 and DCF-17 by exporting and uploading finalized Risk Assessment and Treatment reports.
Part 1: Identifying Risks
In the first video, we explore the foundations of risk management and risk identification. You’ll learn how to use Drata’s library of over 200 pre-built risk scenarios to populate your register and how to use the risk table to assign owners, categories, and perform bulk actions.
Part 2: Scoring Risks
The second video dives into the quantitative analysis of your register. We demonstrate how to assess risks based on Impact and Likelihood using a customizable scoring matrix to calculate an inherent risk score, ensuring your most critical threats get the attention they deserve.
Part 3: Treating Risks
The final video covers the four primary risk treatment options: Mitigate, Accept, Transfer, and Avoid. We walk through documenting remediation plans, mapping mitigating controls, and exporting the final reports needed to satisfy DCF-16 and DCF-17.
