Benefits
ZenGRC provides an end-to-end Essential Risk management solution that can be tailored to any risk management methodology.
One of the primary purposes for a risk heatmap is to enable organizations to document, track, and manage risk. And it allows 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 | ||
