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