Risk Management & Reporting

NEXIS delivers a structured, continuously maintained risk register covering assessment, treatment, and reporting in formats accepted by BSI, BaFin, and internal auditors.

Risk Management Is an Ongoing Obligation, Not an Annual Exercise

Frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001, NIS2, DORA, and BSI IT-Grundschutz require IT risks to be identified, assessed, and documented continuously. A yearly assessment no longer meets the standard expected by auditors and supervisory authorities.

Many organizations still rely on spreadsheets and manually assembled reports. Risk assessments are often disconnected from asset inventories, protection requirements, and measure tracking, making a consistent audit trail difficult to maintain.

When authorities such as the BSI or BaFin request evidence, teams often have to reconstruct decisions that were never documented in a traceable format. That increases effort and turns reporting into a recurring bottleneck.

Risk Indicators
  • Risk register exists but is not maintained continuously
  • No history of assessment decisions
  • Protection requirements and risks live in separate tools
  • Measure effectiveness is tracked informally
  • Audit reporting is assembled manually
  • Evidence for BSI or BaFin is slow to produce

A Risk Register That Holds Up Under Scrutiny

NEXIS replaces fragmented spreadsheets and manual processes with a structured, continuously maintained risk register connected to assets, measures, and compliance requirements in one platform. Risk assessments, treatment plans, measures, and reporting are maintained in one governed structure, so reporting becomes retrieval, not reconstruction.

Single Source of Truth

Risk assessments, treatment decisions, and measure statuses are maintained in one structured register.

Audit-Ready at Any Time

Full historicization makes it possible to retrieve and report on past assessments retrospectively.

Reduced Audit Preparation Effort

Standard reports in .pdf, .docx, and .xlsx are generated directly from the platform without manual assembly.

Continuous Recertification Cycles

Iterative valuation cycles and automated recertification workflows replace calendar-driven review rounds.

How NEXIS Supports Risk Management and Reporting

Continuous risk management depends on more than storing assessments. NEXIS brings together asset context, configurable risk valuation, treatment planning, measures tracking, maturity evaluation, and historicized reporting in one governed process.

IT Risk Assessment

NEXIS supports individual and mass risk assessment based on configurable risk catalogs. Protection requirement criteria such as confidentiality, availability, integrity, and data protection relevance are available by default and can be adapted to the applicable regulatory framework.

Risk Treatment Plan

Identified risks are organized by severity within a configurable treatment plan. After evaluation and treatment, recertification processes can be automated, enabling iterative valuation cycles instead of point-in-time snapshots.

Measures Management and Dashboard

Measures linked to identified risks are maintained and evaluated centrally. NEXIS supports checks for legal relevance and economic efficiency, formal risk acceptance, and dashboard-based visibility into status, cost, ownership, and resubmission dates.

Compliance Assessment and Maturity Evaluation

Requirements from laws, standards, and internal guidelines can be evaluated through a maturity-based methodology aligned to the PDCA cycle. Self-assessments can be planned across scopes and investigation areas, while the Compliance Wizard lowers the barrier for business-side participation.

Information Asset Management

Business processes, IT assets, and information groups are managed in a structural analysis that forms the basis for ISMS-relevant assessments. Criticality assessments are linked to information and classified by confidentiality, availability, integrity, and data protection relevance.

Audit-Ready Reporting and Historicization

Reports and report templates are generated in .docx, .xlsx, and .pdf formats. Standard reports, including compliance status and risk matrix reports, are available with controlled access, while historicization makes past decisions and data states retrievable at any point in time.

Risk Documentation Is No Longer a Point-in-Time Exercise

With NEXIS, risk documentation shifts from isolated manual records to a continuously maintained register that integrates asset data, compliance requirements, and measure tracking. Compliance teams spend less time reconstructing evidence for audits and more time working with a current, defensible view of risk posture.

  • Continuously maintained risk register
  • Configurable risk catalogs and maturity models
  • Automated recertification and treatment cycles
  • Audit-ready reports on demand
