# Link Assets to Risks

Linking assets to risks helps you establish a clear relationship between critical assets and the risks that may impact them. By mapping risks directly to custom assets in the Asset Register, Sprinto enables more accurate risk context, better impact analysis, and stronger audit readiness.

This linkage ensures that risks are evaluated not in isolation, but in relation to the assets they affect.

***

### Features

* Link multiple risks to a single custom asset
* Browse risks by category for easier selection
* Search and map specific risks using the risk search
* Review selected risks before saving the mapping
* Edit or update mapped risks at any time
* View all mapped risks directly from the asset details panel

***

### Procedure

Follow these steps to link risks to a custom asset:

1. Log in to the Sprinto dashboard.
2. Navigate to **Data Library → Asset Register**.
3. Select the **Custom assets** tab.

5. In the asset details drawer, scroll to **Map risks to custom asset**.
6. Select **Add risks**.

   * Browse risks using categories on the left, or
   * Use the **Search risks** field to find specific risks.
8. Select one or more risks to map.
9. Review your selections under **Selected risks for mapping**.
10. Select **Save mapping**.

Once saved, a confirmation message appears, and the mapped risks are listed in the asset details panel.

To update mapped risks:

1. Open the asset details panel.
2. Select **Edit** next to the mapped risks section.

3. Add or remove risks as required.
4. Select **Save mapping** again to apply changes.

### Key Notes

* Risks can only be mapped to **custom assets**, not auto-discovered assets.
* You can map multiple risks to a single asset.
* Risk mappings can be updated at any time without affecting existing risk records.
* Mapped risks help improve asset-based risk analysis and audit traceability.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sprinto.com/data-library/asset-register/link-assets-to-risks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
