Linking proof to a risk

Roles and permissions:

The following roles can link proof to a risk:

Administrators who are members of the Risk Register
Compliance managers who are members of the Risk Register
Users who are members of the Risk Register

The recommended workflow for linking proof to a risk is to link the proof to a control, and then link that control to the risk. However, should you need to link proof directly to a risk, without a control, you can do so by following the steps below.

For more information, see the Linking proof to a risk video at the bottom of the page.

Linking proof to a risk

From the left menu, select Risk.
Select your Risk Register.
Select the Risks tab.
Select the risk you want to link proof to.
Select the Proof tab.
Add your proof in one of the following ways:
- Drag and drop files onto the proof grid.
- Click Add proof and select one of the following:
  My Computer - To use proof stored on your computer, click My Computer in the upper-left corner.
  This <object> - To use proof stored on objects linked to an evaluation or audit request, click This <object>.
  Cloud storage integration - To use proof stored in an integration, such as Drive, select the integration’s icon from the Add integration section in the bottom-left corner. Optionally, turn on LiveSync to automatically keep your proof up to date.
  Paste a link - Select this option to use a website URL as proof. The URL is rendered as a “Link” file type in Hyperproof; the only information shown in the file is the URL.
  Paste an image - Select this option to use a screenshot as proof. Take a screenshot (Cmd-Shift-5 on Mac, Shift-S on Windows), copy it to the clipboard, and then paste it in Hyperproof. Chrome users may need to allow this functionality. If prompted by the browser, refresh the page after clicking Allow.
  Existing proof - To reuse proof that already exists in your organization, select either Labels, Proof, My Controls, Vendors, Risks, Policies, or Programs from the left menu.
  Note
  When selecting existing proof on a policy, only effective and retired policy versions display.
