Continuous Risk Monitoring

Monitor risks in real time, assess treatment effectiveness, and identify risks requiring attention from a centralised dashboard in Sprinto.

The Continuous Risk Monitoring tab in Sprinto allows you to proactively monitor risks, evaluate the effectiveness of treatments, and focus on those that require immediate action.

To access Continuous Risk Monitoring:

  1. Log in to the Sprinto dashboard.

  2. Navigate to DashboardContinuous Risk Monitoring.

From this page, you can:

  • View the total number of approved risks in your risk register.

  • Track average inherent risk, average residual risk, and average effective residual risk.

  • Measure average treatment effectiveness for your organisation’s risk portfolio.

  • Review a summary of risks by treatment effectiveness, grouped by category (for example, Cybersecurity).


Dashboard Actions

1. View overall risk posture

  • The summary cards display key metrics:

    • Average inherent risk – risk level without any mitigation or controls.

    • Average residual risk – remaining risk after mitigation.

    • Average effective residual risk – residual risk adjusted for treatment performance.

    • Average treatment effectiveness – overall percentage indicating how well risk treatments are performing.

2. Drill down into risk details

  • Click a risk category to view treatment effectiveness for individual risks.

  • Each risk entry displays:

    • Risk name and ID (for example, CRK 77.1: Data Breach).

    • Description of the risk.

    • Average treatment effectiveness percentage.

    • Controls applied to mitigate the risk.

    • Number of checks monitoring each control, with readiness percentages.

    • Associated risk treatment tasks and their completion status.

3. Review control and task readiness

  • Expand a control to view all mapped checks and their individual readiness status.

  • Track pending tasks related to risk treatment directly from the drawer view.

4. Identify improvement areas

  • Use readiness percentages to quickly identify underperforming controls or incomplete tasks.

  • Focus efforts on failing or low-readiness areas to improve overall treatment effectiveness.


Best Practices

  • Regularly review risks with low treatment effectiveness to ensure timely remediation.

  • Use the readiness breakdown to prioritise resources where the most impact can be made.

  • Keep treatment tasks up to date to prevent risk posture degradation over time.
