Risk Types

SkySiege classify all risks across all providers and frameworks into six distinct categories: compliance, cost, efficiency, operational, resilience and security. Each affects the underlying integrity and therefore valuation of your systems

Every issue is classified not just by severity, but by the type of risk it introduces. SkySiege groups findings into six categories, allowing you to understand not just how urgent something is - but what it threatens.

Compliance

Compliance

Compliance risks identify gaps that could lead to failures against regulatory, contractual, or audit requirements such as SOC 2 and ISO standards.

Cost

Cost

Cost risks highlight areas of unnecessary or excessive spending within systems and infrastructure. These findings focus on reducing waste and optimizing resource usage.

Efficiency

Efficiency

Efficiency risks highlight systems that are poorly designed or configured, leading to unnecessary complexity, performance issues, or reduced return on investment.

Operational

Operational

Operational risks highlight issues that affect system stability, maintainability, and long-term performance. These findings focus on ensuring systems continue to run reliably as they scale and evolve.

Resilience

Resilience

Resilience risks identify weaknesses in backup, recovery, and failover capabilities. These findings focus on ensuring systems can withstand failures and recover without significant disruption.

Security

Security

Security risks identify weaknesses that could allow unauthorized access, data exposure, or system compromise. These findings focus on protecting systems, identities, and sensitive information from direct threats.
