Interactive Risk Matrix
Visual Risk Distribution
The risk matrix provides instant visual understanding of your risk landscape:
- 3D Visualization: Enhanced depth perception for risk clustering
- 2D Grid View: Traditional matrix view for detailed analysis
- Color Coding: Intuitive risk level identification
- Interactive Points: Click for detailed risk information
Inherent vs Residual Views
Toggle between risk perspectives:
Inherent Risk View
- Raw risk without control considerations
- Shows true organizational exposure
- Identifies areas needing attention
- Baseline for control effectiveness
Residual Risk View
- Risk after control implementation
- Demonstrates control effectiveness
- Shows current actual exposure
- Progress toward risk appetite
Dynamic Filtering
Filter risk matrix data by:
- Risk Categories: Focus on specific risk types
- Owners: View risks by responsible parties
- Status: Active, closed, or under review
- Date Ranges: Historical vs current views
KPI Summary Cards
Real-time Risk Metrics
