How to Use IT Risk Assessment
- 1Describe the context — the project, system, vendor or processing activity you are assessing, and what concerns you about it.
- 2Pick the assessment type: IT Project Risk, Infrastructure / Systems, Cybersecurity, Third-Party / Vendor, or Data Privacy / GDPR.
- 3Name the system or project and the organisation.
- 4Click 'Generate Risk Assessment'.
- 5You get a risk profile summary, risks organised by likelihood-and-impact quadrant, recommended actions and ongoing controls. Review it with the people who know the system — the tool is a starting list, not an assessment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a GDPR DPIA?
No. The Data Privacy / GDPR assessment type produces a useful structured starting point, but a Data Protection Impact Assessment is a specific legal instrument with defined content requirements, and in some cases requires consultation with your supervisory authority. Involve your DPO or a privacy specialist.
How are the risks organised?
By quadrant — the likelihood-and-impact grid most risk registers use — with a profile summary above it and recommended actions below. That makes it straightforward to paste into an existing register rather than reformatting.
Will it find risks specific to my environment?
Only to the extent you describe them. It is good at producing the well-known risks for a class of project and easy to miss the one specific to your setup. Use it to make sure nothing obvious is missing, then add what only your team knows.
Can I use this for a vendor security review?
The Third-Party / Vendor type gives you the standard risk areas to ask about, which is a reasonable basis for a questionnaire. It cannot assess an actual vendor — it has never seen their SOC 2 report or their architecture.
Does it assign risk scores?
It places risks in quadrants rather than inventing precise numeric scores, which is the honest level of precision for a tool that has not seen your environment. Scoring against your organisation's matrix is your job.
About IT Risk Assessment
The IT Risk Assessment tool produces a structured assessment across five common types — project, infrastructure, cybersecurity, vendor and data privacy — with a risk profile summary, risks arranged by likelihood-and-impact quadrant, recommended actions and ongoing controls.
Its real strength is completeness rather than insight. The well-known risks for a cloud migration or a vendor onboarding are well known precisely because they keep happening, and the most common failure in a hand-written assessment is simply forgetting one of them. Use this as the checklist that catches those, then add what only your team knows.
The quadrant layout means output drops into an existing risk register without reformatting, and the controls section gives you something to assign owners to. Scoring against your organisation's own matrix stays your job — a tool that has not seen your environment inventing precise numbers would be false confidence.
For GDPR specifically: this is not a DPIA. A Data Protection Impact Assessment has defined legal content requirements and sometimes requires supervisory authority consultation. Use the output as preparation and involve your DPO. Your input goes to our own AI server over HTTPS, is used once, and is never stored or used for training. If our server is down, a backup AI provider may handle the request under its own data policy.
