Risk & Control Matrix
Map risks to controls and let the matrix surface the gaps from your own data, instead of leaving them to be noticed at the next review — with one control able to evidence more than one obligation.
Risks and controls on one model, so the matrix shows where coverage is missing instead of leaving it to be noticed at the next review.
The Challenge
Common challenges faced by organizations
Risks and controls never meet
Risks live in one register and controls in another, so nobody can say which risks are actually covered.
Coverage is a judgement call
Whether a risk is controlled depends on who is asked and when, rather than on anything derivable from the data.
Gaps surface at the review
Missing coverage is found when a reviewer happens to look, which is months after it stopped being covered.
Every framework starts over
A control that already satisfies one obligation is documented again for the next one, because nothing links them.
How QuartzIQ Solves This
Streamline your risk & control matrix with powerful automation
Risks mapped to the controls that mitigate them
Each control is documented against the perimeter that owns it and the risks it covers, so the matrix means something.
Gaps suggested from your own data
The matrix proposes where coverage is missing rather than waiting for a review to notice it.
One control, several obligations
The matrix links to different regulations, so a control documented once can evidence more than one requirement.
Testing and findings on the same model
Results and findings attach to the control and the perimeter they came from, so closure carries its own evidence.
Key Benefits
Advantages of implementing our solution
Coverage you can derive
Uncovered risks are a number on the perimeter rather than an opinion, so the question can be answered on demand.
Documented once, reused
A control written for one framework evidences the next one too, instead of a fresh mapping exercise per regulation.
Gaps found before the audit
Missing coverage surfaces from the data as it appears, not from a reviewer reading the register months later.
