Risk profile page

The full configuration for a single risk profile: score thresholds, agreed risk scope, category scores, action multipliers, and the agents currently assigned to it.

Low, Medium, High, and Critical each map to a threshold value configured in the profile, with each band running from one threshold up to the next. If the values are not strictly ascending (medium > 0, high > medium, critical > high), the section shows an error — fix the values under Edit.

The scope an agent using this profile is agreed to operate within: which actions it may perform and which data categories it may touch. Prefactor compares the agent’s declared capabilities against this scope on the Overview tab of the agent and flags anything that exceeds it.

The categories the profile scores against, with their weights, grouped under Standard PII, Sensitive data, and GDPR Special Categories (Article 9). Zero-weight categories are hidden — included categories with no weight are still part of the agreed scope but do not contribute to the score.

Each included action type carries a multiplier. Values above 1 amplify that action in the risk score; 1 is neutral; below 1 reduces it. Actions excluded from agreed risk are not listed.

Lists agents currently linked to this profile, each linking to that agent’s overview.

Use Edit to change the profile’s name, description, category weights and inclusion, action multipliers and inclusion, and thresholds. The same fields are available when creating a profile — see Create risk profile on the Risk profiles page for field detail. Editing does not re-offer the Start from template picker; templates only apply when a profile is first created.

Delete profile is in the action menu. Agents that used the profile keep the association in their history and the configuration is preserved for audit, but no new instances will be scored against it.
