Viewing Risks
The Risk Manager main page lists every risk your role can see. Use the controls along the top to filter and export the list. Click any row to open its Risk Details page, or right-click it for the context menu.
Beacon Card
When VSEC Monitor is enabled, a Beacon button sits at the top of the Risk Manager page, with a badge counting the findings that need attention. Click it to expand the Beacon summary card, which shows a severity breakdown or an all-clear message. Click View in Monitor to open the full findings list in VSEC Monitor. See Beacon for what Beacon watches for and how each finding type is triggered.
Filters
- Search risks by heading…: narrows the list to risks whose heading matches.
- Asset: select one or more assets, or leave the filter empty for all assets.
- Status, Priority, and Assignee: show only risks with the selected values. These selections are kept in the page address, so a filtered view can be shared as a link.
Archived risks are always listed, greyed out and sorted after the active risks. There is no toggle to hide them.
Columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Heading | The risk’s title |
| Status | Lifecycle label — Triage, Open, In Progress, In Review, or Closed. Archived risks show Archived |
| Origin | Risk origin — Design, Test, or Monitor. Shows — if the risk has no evidence yet (see Risk Origins) |

Column headers do not sort the list.
