Risk Managers can have an overview of risk insights. This dashboard enables risk managers to take actions and download visualizations for reports and visualizations.
Note: Risk Management is part of the Advanced package and is separate from Risk Assessment. Learn more at https://drata.com/plans.
Please contact your CSM or Support if you're interested in learning more and adding Risk Management to your account.

Select the colored block to be redirected to the All Risks tab, showcasing the associated risks. For example, to view more information about low risks, you can select the green colored block and if you would like, download a filtered view of the CSV file.
Risk heatmap
Note: You can filter based on the inherent or residual score by selecting the type of score on the drop down menu underneath Risk Scores.
The Risk heatmap depicts all risks that have been scored and displays them in a heatmap based on their Likelihood and Impact score. This serves as a basic breakdown of your company’s current risk posture.
Selecting the square with the number of risks associated to that combination of impact and likelihood will take you to the Risk Register filtered to those risks.
Category breakdown
Note: You can filter based on the inherent or residual score by selecting the type of score on the drop down menu underneath Risk Scores.
The Category breakdown card breaks out each category with scored risks grouped by severity. It shows the categories with higher severity risks at the top of the list. This is useful to identify which categories represent the most risk in your company.
Select a category label redirects you to the All Risks page filtered by that category, under the Risk Register tab.
Select a color block redirects you to the All Risks page filtered to those risks, under the Risk Register tab.
Risks over time line graph
Note: You can filter based on the inherent or residual score by selecting the type of score on the drop down menu underneath Risk Scores.
The risks over time section allows you to see how your risk posture has changed over a selected period of time. You can select the time period over which you’d like to review your risk scores. You can also download a snapshot of the graph in PDF form to add to presentations and share with other members of your organization.
💡 Of note, we started collecting the data on this graph as of January 3, 2024 so you will not see data prior to January.
