No single number for a cluster that shares one risk profile
When a dozen servers, applications, or data stores share the same threats and controls, scoring each one in isolation is slow and inconsistent. The same scenario and treatment get linked over and over, and a small change means revisiting every record.
Worse, there is no single figure for the cluster. Leadership asks "what is the risk on our payment systems?" and there is no number to give — only a list of individual assets to add up by hand.
When an auditor or supervisory authority probes how related assets are governed, a folder of disconnected scores does not demonstrate control.
What you can do with Asset Groups
- Cluster related assets into a group with its own risk model and standards selector.
- Link risk scenarios and treatment plans once at the group level, not per asset.
- Aggregate scenario risk per standard into a single group current-risk score.
- Batch-update linked elements and apply bulk multiselect actions across grouped assets.
- Import, export, and share asset groups across companies in your structure.
What it delivers to your program
- One defensible number per cluster — report group risk to the board instead of a spreadsheet of parts.
- Less repetitive linking — scenarios and treatments attach once and apply across the group.
- Faster, consistent updates — change a control at group level and every member moves together.
- Audit-ready grouping — show how related assets are governed under each standard, not asset-by-asset.
Built for compliance
DPMS helps you evidence the specific obligations that govern grouped-asset risk — mapped to the article and control, never to "the GDPR."
| What DPMS does | Maps to | How |
|---|---|---|
| Aggregates scenario risk into a group score | ISO 27001:2022 Clause 6.1 | Per-standard risk roll-up across linked scenarios |
| Links treatment plans to grouped assets | ISO 27001:2022 Clause 6.1.3 | Group-level treatment and scenario assignment |
| Documents risk to grouped personal-data assets | GDPR Art. 32 | Standards-based risk model on the asset group |
| Consolidates risk for in-scope asset clusters | NIS2 Art. 21 | Group current-risk score for security oversight |
Why Priverion
Unlike a general-purpose GRC tool where grouping is just a folder, an Asset Group here carries a real risk model: its score is aggregated from member scenarios per standard. Because it lives in one unified privacy and InfoSec platform, it inherits the same risk behavior as individual assets while adding batch linking and cross-company sharing — so data flows to risk, scenarios, and treatments without re-keying.
