Risk Management · GRC

To systematically identify, assess, and demonstrably manage risks

ANYVA supports integrated risk management for data protection and information security – based on real process and asset data, with traceable documentation and a direct link to the Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA).

Scope of functionality

  • Risk identification from processes
  • Assessment of entry and impact
  • Risk Mitigation Plan & Measures
  • Link to Assets & Vulnerabilities
  • DSFA-Integration
  • PDCA & Effectiveness Control
  • Audit trail for all decisions
The approach

Risks from the context – not from manual estimates

In many organisations, risk registers are created through manual estimates in Excel spreadsheets – with no connection to real-world processes or technical systems. ANYVA directly links risks to the processes, assets, and vulnerabilities from which they arise.

🔄
Risks from processes

Business processes are the starting point. Risks arise directly from captured processes, data flows, and system dependencies – no manual single estimation.

Scales
Structured assessment

Probability of occurrence, extent of damage, and risk strategy are systematically recorded – jointly for data protection and IT security risks.

🔗
Linked risk chain

IT risks affect data protection risks. Vulnerabilities affect asset risks. ANYVA maps the complete risk chain – in both directions.

📋
Risk Mitigation Plan

For each risk, measures, responsible persons and deadlines can be defined. PDCA ensures that effectiveness is demonstrably checked.

🔍
DSFA-Integration

Data protection risks are incorporated directly into the DPIA – no double assessment, no manual transfer between systems.

📊
Audit-Trail

All risk assessments and decisions are documented with timestamps and origin – for internal and external audits.

Integrated Risk Model

A data protection and information security risk register

Instead of two separate risk registers for DSMS and ISMS, ANYVA works with a unified model – risks are assessed once and apply to both disciplines.

This means specifically:

  • A risk register instead of two separate lists
  • Risks from processes, assets and vulnerabilities automatically linked
  • Measures act simultaneously in DSMS and ISMS
  • Full audit trail for audits and authorities from one system
Relevant Requirements
GDPR Article 35

Risk-based Data Protection Impact Assessment – Risk assessment as a structured basis for DPIA.

ISO 27001 Chapter 6

Risk analysis as a core ISMS element – structured, traceable, and linked to the Statement of Applicability.

NIS-2

Risk management as a duty for essential and important institutions – including supply chains and technical systems.

Dynamic Risk Mapping

Vulnerabilities, processes, and risks are mutually influential.

ANYVA does not separate risk management from operational processes. Technical vulnerabilities and process changes have a direct impact on the risk assessment.

Practical scenario

What happens when new legal requirements come into force?

New requirements from NIS-2 or a GDPR decision – and how ANYVA visualises their impact on existing risks.

Without ANYVA: Requirements in tables, manual reconciliation with existing measures, lack of traceability. With ANYVA: Structured process, complete proof.
