To open the Risk Assessment page go to Compliance > Governance Administration > Risk Assessment.

Everyone with IT system authorization in a company represents a security risk for that company. For example, an identity with permission to edit financial data in SAP carries a higher risk than an identity with permission to edit their own main data. To quantify the risk, you can enter a risk value for every company resource in One Identity Manager. A risk index is calculated from this value for every identity that has this company resource assigned to it directly or indirectly. Company resources include target system entitlements (for example, Active Directory groups or SAP profiles), system roles, subscribable reports, software, and resources. In this way, all the people that represent a particular risk to the company can be found.

In the context of Identity Audit, compliance rules can also be given a risk index. With each rule violation, the security risk of all identities that violate the rule may increase. Therefore, these risk indexes are also included in the identities' risk calculation. You can define appropriate countermeasures through mitigating controls, and store them with the compliance rules.

Other factors can influence the calculation of identities' risk indexes. These include: the type of resource assignment (approved request or direct assignment), attestations, exception approvals for rule violations, identity's responsibilities, and defined weightings. Furthermore, the risk index can be calculated for all business roles, organizations, and system roles that have company resources assigned to them. The user account risk index is calculated based on the system entitlements assigned.

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

On the Risk Assessment page, you can perform the following actions for the risk index functions that contribute to the calculation of these indexes:

• Show risk index functions (see Displaying risk index functions)

• Edit risk index functions (see Editing risk index functions)

• Enable risk index functions (see Disabling/enabling risk index functions)

• Disable risk index functions (see Disabling/enabling risk index functions)

The following table gives you an overview of the various features on the Risk Assessment page.

Table 257: Columns

Column	Description
Object type	Shows you which objects are affected by the risk index function.
Name	Shows you the risk index function's name.
Calculation type	Shows you the calculation type used for risk assessment. The following calculation types are possible: Maximum (weighted): The highest value from all relevant risk indexes is determined, weighted and used as the basis for further calculation. Maximum (normalized): The highest value from all relevant risk indexes is calculated, weighted with the normalized weighting factor and taken as basis for the next calculation. Increment: The risk index of table column (target) is incremented by a fixed value. You can see this value in the Weighting/Change value column. Decrement: The risk index of the table column (target) is decreased by a fixed value. You can see this value in the Weighting/Change value column. Average (normalized): The average of all relevant risk indexes is calculated with the normalized weighting factor and taken as basis for the next calculation. Average (weighted): The average of all relevant risk indexes is calculated, weighted, and taken as basis for the next calculation. Reduction: Used when calculating the reduced risk index for compliance rules, SAP functions, company policies, and attestation policies. You cannot add custom functions with this calculation type!
Weighting/change value	Shows, depending on the type of calculation, the value used to weigh the determined risk index in the overall calculation or the value used to alter the risk index respectively.
