A risk profile decides how Prefactor scores the data an agent touches. Each profile sets
category weights, action multipliers, and score thresholds — you assign a profile to an
agent to control how its spans are evaluated.

Every profile configured for your account is listed here. Open one to review or
edit its configuration; use **Create profile** to add a new one.

For an explanation of how weights and multipliers combine into a score, see
[risk profile](/platform/concepts/risk-profile).

## Create risk profile

Use **Create profile** to open the creation form. Fields:

- **Name** (required) and **Description**.
- **Start from template** — choose one preset; it pre-fills weights and related fields.
- **Data category values** — weights for the categories under Standard PII, Sensitive
  data, and GDPR Article 9 Special Categories. Each category has a weight from 0 to 10
  and an inclusion toggle. Excluding a category drops it from the profile regardless of
  the weight; including a category with weight 0 keeps it in scope but contributes
  nothing to scores.
- **Action risk multipliers** (advanced) — Destroy data, Financial transactions,
  External communication, Create data, Update data, and Read data. Actions also have
  an inclusion toggle. Excluded actions are not allowed under the profile's agreed
  risk.
- **Risk level thresholds** — **Medium ≥**, **High ≥**, and **Critical ≥** (numeric inputs
  within the allowed range).

Saving returns you to the list with the new profile in it. Open it to see and edit
the full configuration on the [Risk profile page](/admin-ui/risk-profile).
