Managing gaps using the Risk and Control Matrix

The Risk and Control Matrix in assessments shows all risks and controls that you are given access to, based on your user permissions. It provides an overview of the key areas you need to focus on as a Risk or control owner, as well as shows the full scope of the job.

When you associate a risk with a control, you are specifying the measures or courses of action for how the risk will be mitigated. The combination of identified risks and corresponding controls is called a Risk Control Matrix.

A risk can be associated to many controls and a control can be associated with many risks.
