Data Risk with 5×5 Matrix and Effectiveness Verification
A data risk is not closed by saying "already mitigated": it is closed with proven effectiveness.
Framework / standard: ISO 31000 · ISO/IEC 38505-1 (Risk)
The risk you measure in time is a checkbox; the one you ignore is a fine with your name on it. Linedat scores data risk with a 5×5 matrix and does not let it close without evidence of effectiveness.
Probability × impact = 1–25
Each risk combines probability and impact into a score from 1 to 25 that maps to a level (low/medium/high/critical). An objective number to prioritise mitigation with.
Closure only with verified effectiveness
To mark a risk as verified you must record evidence of mitigation effectiveness, not just declare it implemented. If new issues emerge, it can be re-opened.
The limits (what we do not claim)
The matrix is static (not customisable per tenant today) and the score is deterministic. Effectiveness verification is free text, not the result of an automated test. The next review date does not generate alerts (it is read-time).
How Linedat helps
Linedat turns data risk into a defensible score with rigorous closure — the risk you measure in time, not the one that blows up.
