I need a software that can calculate risks for our company. Something where I can enter risk matrices than it calculates the risk. Any such software?

Most professionals just use excel. You can create a simple risk matrix in 5 minutes, something like this, then sum() and average the values by column/row depending on how you constructed it.

Something like this:

Probability should be realistic: How often has this happened to your organisation - or similar organisations. I made a risk assessment program a decade ago like a graph with nodes and edges that you could add threats, solutions - like an attack tree for an organisation, but while that kind of software is cool looking, it is also unnecessary for a simple risk analysis.

Excel is sufficient.

Hi! We use excel too. But if this software exists, it's interesting. I'll be following this thread. :)

I was just about to call this company that my friend recommended. What they have looks almost identical to the image you posted. I'll look into using excel since we already have it.

Thanks for posting guys.
