Control Deactivation Affect on Risk (Risk Register Module Required) #

Any Control attached to a Risk when deactivated will impact the Risk Score by the weighting of the Control

(Note: To see more about Control Weightings please see: Control Weightings)

On the Risk Dashboard, any Risk with a Deactivated Control attached shall be seen as Red,

Accessing a Red Risk will show any Deactivated controls with a Strikethrough,

As an example, the risk score shown below would be accurate when all Controls are Active,

However as there is a single deactivated control attached it will increase the Residual to be the same as the Inherent,
