Assess Each Risk Per Standard, Not as One Global Score

The same scenario carries different risk under GDPR than under ISO 27001. Priverion DPMS scores risk at the asset/standard intersection — so each framework you run gets its own defensible view.

The challenge

One global score hides the risks each framework cares about

You run GDPR, ISO 27001, NIS2 and SOC 2 across the same estate, but most tools collapse them into one global risk score. A confidentiality scenario that is high risk under GDPR may be a moderate control gap under ISO 27001. A single number hides both.

When an auditor asks how you assessed a risk for their framework, a blended score does not answer the question. You re-derive the per-standard view by hand, in spreadsheets that drift apart the moment a control changes.

The evidence problem compounds it. The same scenario maps to different controls under each standard, each needing its own proof — and tracking that mapping manually is where assessments quietly fall out of date.

What you can do

What you can do with per-standard risk assessment

  • Define scenarios per framework — model one risk distinctly under GDPR, ISO 27001, NIS2 or SOC 2.
  • Score risk at the asset/standard intersection so each framework keeps its own assessed value.
  • Average risk per scenario across every asset it touches, calculated automatically.
  • Map scenarios to standard-specific controls with the evidence that supports them.
  • Filter scenarios by standard applicability to focus on one framework at a time.
  • Create and publish standard-based treatment plans tied to the scenarios they remediate.
  • Add external and custom standards for frameworks beyond the built-in set.
Business outcomes

What it delivers to your program

  • Answer per-framework audit questions directly — each standard has its own assessed, evidenced view, with no manual re-derivation before an inspection.
  • Catch risks a global score hides — a scenario flagged high under one framework stays visible even when it reads moderate under another.
  • Keep control evidence current — scenario-to-control mappings live in one place per standard, not scattered across spreadsheets.
  • Show defensible treatment — published plans trace each remediation back to the standard and scenario it addresses.
Built for compliance

Built for compliance

DPMS helps you evidence the specific obligations that govern risk assessment — mapped to the article and control, never to "the GDPR."

Why Priverion

Why Priverion

Unlike general-purpose GRC tools that reduce everything to one risk number, Priverion assesses each scenario at the asset/standard intersection — so one scenario carries a distinct value under each framework you run.

Because this lives inside a single privacy and InfoSec platform, scenarios, assets, controls and treatment plans share the same data. Map a scenario to a control once and the evidence flows through to the standards that need it — no re-keying between disconnected risk and compliance modules.

FAQ

Questions ISOs and DPOs ask before a demo

Can the same scenario have different risk under different standards?
Yes — that is the core design. A scenario is assessed separately at each asset/standard intersection, so it carries a distinct value under GDPR, ISO 27001, NIS2 or SOC 2.
How is risk calculated across multiple assets?
For each scenario, DPMS averages the risk across every asset it applies to, per standard — a scenario-level view that still respects framework boundaries.
Can I assess frameworks beyond the built-in standards?
Yes. You can add external and custom standard definitions, then define and map scenarios against them the same way as the built-in frameworks.
Does it handle treatment or just assessment?
Both. You create standard-based treatment plans tied to the scenarios they remediate, then publish them so the link between risk and remediation stays traceable.
