What you need to know RISKBOW GRC Platform?
What is RISKBOW?
RISKBOW is a GRC platform designed for end-to-end ICT risk management and regulatory compliance. It centralises information on assets, risks, controls, incidents, suppliers, ICT contracts and business continuity plans, providing a consistent model for governance, monitoring and reporting.
The system supports both qualitative assessment and traditional risk heat maps, as well as quantitative methods in which risk scores are calculated for individual assets while taking dependencies and risk propagation into account.
Why RISKBOW?
A key differentiator is RISKBOW’s ability to move beyond a static ‘likelihood × impact’ matrix. The platform analyses dependencies between ICT assets, takes baseline risk and risk tolerance into account, propagates the effect of threats through the dependency graph and calculates resulting KRIs for individual assets.
This allows organisations to identify single points of failure, critical dependency paths and areas where an apparently local risk may have a much broader impact across the ICT environment.
Who is it for?
RISKBOW is designed primarily for regulated organisations that need a coherent system for managing ICT risk, compliance and operational resilience.
- banks, payment institutions and other financial-sector organisations;
- insurance and reinsurance companies and multi-entity groups;
- investment funds, leasing companies, brokerage houses and asset managers;
- energy, telecommunications and critical-infrastructure operators;
- other organisations subject to DORA, NIS2, ISO 27001 or extensive audit and control requirements.
Typical users include CISOs, CROs and Risk Managers, Compliance Officers, CTOs and IT Directors, as well as internal audit and control teams.
Regulatory compliance
The platform provides mappings, control mechanisms and reporting capabilities supporting key regulations and recognised risk and information-security frameworks:
- DORA – ICT risk management, incident management, operational resilience and third-party risk;
- NIS2 – cybersecurity risk management, incident reporting and supply-chain security;
- ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 27005 – control mapping, risk assessment, Statement of Applicability and risk treatment plans;
- ISO 31000 – risk identification, analysis, evaluation, treatment and monitoring lifecycle;
- COSO ERM – governance, strategy, performance and monitoring;
- KNF SPRPF – registers and reports supporting SPRPF-18, SPRPF-20 and SPRPF-26/27 requirements.
Business benefits
- a consistent, organisation-wide view of ICT risk;
- better prioritisation through dependency analysis and KRIs;
- a single repository for risks, controls, incidents, suppliers and ICT contracts;
- faster preparation for audits and regulatory reporting;
- greater visibility of third-party and supplier-concentration risk;
- support for business continuity and operational-resilience planning;
- stronger accountability through workflows, escalations and full change history.
Technical benefits
- on-premises or private-cloud deployment;
- integration via REST/SOAP, ETL and XML/XLSX/CSV imports;
- connectivity to CMDB platforms, vulnerability scanners and asset registers;
- ICT dependency graph and risk-propagation analysis;
- role-based access control and SSO integration;
- PDF/XLSX/CSV reporting and role-based KRI dashboards;
- containerised architecture supporting Kubernetes / OKD.
RISKBOW GRC Platform – Intelligent ICT Risk Management
RISKBOW is a comprehensive Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) platform for managing ICT risk across its entire lifecycle – from identification and assessment, through security controls and treatment plans, to incident management, business continuity, ICT third-party risk and regulatory reporting.
The platform combines established GRC practices with quantitative risk scoring and dependency analysis across ICT assets. This means organisations can go beyond simply recording risks: they can assess how risks propagate through interconnected assets, identify critical dependency points and update key risk indicators as underlying data changes.
RISKBOW can be deployed on-premises or in a private cloud, on infrastructure controlled by the customer, with full data sovereignty and integration with existing source systems.

Let’s talk about GRC and ICT risk
We will show how to build a coherent ICT risk-management model and tailor RISKBOW to your organisation’s processes and regulatory requirements.
Quantitative Risk Engine
Beyond the 5×5 matrix: risk across a network of dependencies
RISKBOW extends conventional risk assessment with a quantitative model that takes dependencies between ICT assets into account. Its Impact Calculator aggregates risk events, normalises the result against risk tolerance, propagates risk through the dependency graph, identifies critical paths and calculates the resulting KRI for each asset.
Aggregate risk events
capture data including vulnerabilities, incidents, regulatory issues and control-test results.
Normalise against risk tolerance
convert inputs into a comparable risk score.
Propagate through dependencies
incorporate the effect of connected ICT assets.
Identify critical paths
determine which assets can have the greatest systemic impact.
Calculate final Risk Score / KRI
produce an output reflecting both direct risk sources and dependencies.
Architecture, integrations, and security
RISKBOW is designed for enterprise and regulated environments. The vendor describes on-premises and private-cloud deployment models and support for Kubernetes, VMware and bare-metal infrastructure.
