Appfire LiveRisk brings risk management into Jira, connecting each risk to the work that reduces it.

Instead of maintaining risks in a separate spreadsheet or GRC system while mitigation happens elsewhere, teams can assess, treat, monitor, and report on risks in the same place where they already manage work. Risks remain connected to their owners, scores, treatment plans, Jira work items, review dates, and history.

## What you can do with LiveRisk

- **Bring risk data into Jira.** Create risks manually, import risks from OneTrust, or connect Wiz and Snyk to ingest security findings as Signals.
- **Assess and prioritize risks.** Use a configurable risk matrix and track Inherent, Current, and Target scores.
- **Turn treatment into trackable work.** Create treatment plans and mitigation tasks as Jira work items that teams can manage in their existing spaces and boards.
- **Keep risks current.** Dynamic risks can continue tracking matching findings as connected security sources change.
- **Apply governance.** Risk Owners assess and propose changes, while LiveRisk Managers oversee governance actions and approvals.
- **Monitor and report.** Use the Risk register, Live progress, Dashboard, and Security posture views to track exposure, mitigation progress, reviews, and compliance coverage.

This creates one connected process from security finding to assessment, treatment, progress tracking, governance, and reporting.

## AI assistance with human oversight

AI can help estimate risk scores, explain its reasoning, ask refinement questions, and draft treatment plans and mitigation tasks.

People remain responsible for decisions. Risk Owners review and propose changes, while LiveRisk Managers handle the governance actions and approvals required by the configured workflow. AI does not silently accept risks or override approval boundaries.
