DefenseStorm GRID Active Risk Assessment

GRID Active Risk Assessment is a cybersecurity risk assessment platform designed specifically for financial institutions such as banks and credit unions. It automates the process of identifying and managing cyber and information security risks, replacing manual assessment workflows with a continuous, data-driven approach. The platform provides custom risk and control registers, allowing organizations to build assessments from prebuilt libraries of risks and controls that are pre-mapped to frameworks and self-assessments. It supports systematic evidence collection by pulling security operations and governance activities from within the GRID Active platform to substantiate control effectiveness scores, which in turn informs residual risk calculations. Risk assessments can be scoped and filtered based on organizational needs — for example, generating an eBanking-specific assessment or a comprehensive information security risk assessment. Both aggregate quantitative scoring models and user-defined scoring options are available. Individual risk profiles can be maintained for all systems and applications in use, with the ability to link inventory items directly to risks and controls in the register. The platform integrates with DefenseStorm's GRID Active Governance Program, enabling organizations to demonstrate adherence to frameworks including CRI Profile, NIST CSF 2.0, and NIST 800-53. Reporting capabilities include customizable dashboards, dynamic visualizations, and audience-tailored reporting to support executive and examiner communication. The platform also includes exception tracking and reporting functionality.
