Troubleshooting & FAQ

A vendor's risk classification is calculated from its assessment answers, so the two questions below both come back to completing that assessment in full.

Frequently asked questions

How do I determine the correct risk classification for a vendor?

Risk classification is automatically calculated based on assessment answers:

High Risk indicators:

  • Full access to sensitive/regulated data
  • Business-critical services
  • Regulated data processing (financial, health, personal data)
  • Organisation-wide scope

Medium Risk indicators:

  • Limited data access
  • Moderate business impact
  • Basic business data processing
  • Department level services

Low Risk indicators:

  • No data access
  • Minimal business impact
  • Physical services only
  • Limited project scope
Tip

Manual adjustment: Correct the classification manually if the automatic classification doesn't fit the business context.
