Risk assessment for policy violations

For more information about risk assessment, see the One Identity Manager Risk Assessment Administration Guide.

You can use One Identity Manager to evaluate the risk of policy violations. To do this, enter a risk index for the company policy. The risk index specifies the risk involved for the company if the company policy is violated. The risk index is given as a number in the range 0 ... 1. By doing this you specify whether a policy violation is not considered a risk for the company (risk index = 0) or whether every policy violation poses a problem (risk index = 1).

You can use the Report Editor to assess policy violations depending on the risk index by creating various reports. For more information about creating reports, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

To assess the risk of a policy violation enter values for grading company policies on the Assessment criteria tab.
