Risk Overview Dashboard

Modified on Tue, 14 Apr at 4:28 PM

Overview 

The Risk Overview Dashboard provides a centralized view of risks recorded and managed within Risk Management. 

It enables organizations to monitor risk exposure over time, evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation activities, and understand how risks relate to AI systems and datasets across the organization. 

The dashboard supports risk owners, compliance teams, and governance stakeholders in understanding overall risk posture using both real-time and historical data.   

Purpose 

The Risk Overview Dashboard provides high-level visibility into organizational risk trends while maintaining traceability to AI usage and related data assets. 

Key objectives include: 

  • visualizing how risks are identified and managed over time 
  • understanding residual risk after mitigation activities 
  • comparing untreated and treated risks using standardized matrices 
  • linking risks to AI systems and datasets within AI Inventory for governance context

This ensures risks associated with AI systems are continuously monitored and managed.   

Key Features 

date range filtering 

Users can select a time range to analyze risk activity for a specific period. 

Available timeframes include: 

  • last 30 days 
  • last 6 months 
  • last 12 months 
  • all time 
  • custom date range 

All dashboard charts and metrics automatically update based on the selected timeframe.   

risk over time visualization 

The dashboard includes a time-based graph displaying: 

  • Risk Discovered Over Time – total number of risks identified during the selected timeframe 
  • Residual Risk Over Time – number of risks remaining after mitigation or treatment 

Viewing these trends together allows organizations to: 

  • track how quickly risks are identified 
  • measure effectiveness of mitigation actions 
  • identify increases in risk exposure 
  • monitor unresolved risks 

This supports evaluation of governance effectiveness over time.   

risk matrices 

treated risk matrix 

Displays risks that have undergone mitigation, remediation, or control measures. 

This view helps organizations: 

  • confirm whether mitigation actions have reduced risk impact or likelihood 
  • compare risk levels before and after treatment 
  • demonstrate progress in reducing risk exposure 

untreated risk matrix 

Displays risks that remain open and have not yet undergone mitigation. 

The matrix maps risks across: 

  • Impact axis: Low, Medium, High, Critical 
  • Likelihood axis: Rare, Unlikely, Possible, Likely, Almost Certain 

Each matrix cell shows the number of risks within each impact–likelihood combination. 

This helps identify priority risk areas requiring attention.   

Notes 

  • The dashboard displays risks recorded within the Risk Register. 
  • Untreated risks appear in the Untreated Risk Matrix. 
  • Mitigated risks appear in the Treated Risk Matrix. 
  • Residual risk represents the level of risk remaining after mitigation actions. 
  • Each risk displayed may be linked to: 
    • one or more AI systems 
  • one or more datasets 
  • The dashboard supports executive reporting, governance reviews, and ongoing risk oversight.
