Benefits

One of the primary purposes for a risk heatmap is to allow users to visualize the ranking of risk objects in relation to each other.

Risk heatmaps are especially valuable for executive level customers, as they can be used by decision makers to identify areas of the business where additional resources may be necessary (e.g. a software product with a high number of vulnerabilities or a business process that has unmitigated risks).

Note
titleIMPORTANT

Risk items in ZenGRC have a different set of permissions than other objects. To review those permissions and how they impact user access, please see Role-Based Permissions for Risk.
