Risk Matrix Building

Get Mapping Today

Our Risk Matrix Services turn scattered risks into a clear, prioritized picture of what matters most—using plain-English likelihood/impact scales, a color-coded heat map, and straightforward scoring. We’ll deliver a ready-to-use matrix that fits your environment and budget. Choose from a quick template, a tailored version seeded for your organization, or a fully built, presentation-ready matrix with a short briefing.

 

Tier 1 — Starter Matrix Template — $75 (one-time)
What's Included:

  • Editable Excel/Google Sheets risk matrix (color-coded heat map)
  • Likelihood/Impact scales with plain-English criteria 
  • Built-in scoring and auto-prioritization 
  • 1× 30-min handoff (off-hours) and a short “how to use” slide 

Scope: generic template; client inputs their own risks and scores.
 

Tier 2 — Tailored Matrix + Seeding — $175 (one-time)
What's Included:

  • Everything in Tier 1, plus:
  • Custom Likelihood/Impact definitions matched to their industry
  • Seeded examples (placeholders only) showing how to score typical risks
  • Import-ready CSV for their risk register
  • 1 revision + 45-min working session (off-hours)

Tier 3 — Build-For-You Matrix & Briefing — $350 (one-time)
What's Included:

  • Short intake + 60-min remote working session (off-hours)
  • I facilitate inputs and produce a finished, prioritized matrix.

Understanding the Importance of a Risk Matrix:

Risk Matrix's are vital for effective risk management, and here's why:


Clear prioritization: Converts scattered risks into a visual heat map so teams tackle the highest-impact, most-likely issues first.
 

Resource alignment: Helps allocate time and budget where mitigation delivers the most significant risk reduction.
 

Consistent decisions: Standardized scoring makes choices repeatable, defensible, and easy to explain to leadership.
 

Audit/board-ready: Simple visuals and summaries communicate risk posture quickly to non-technical stakeholders.

Pricing: $75 to $350

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach out to us at Risk@thecyberfriend.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

The matrix is the visual and scoring tool. A complete assessment involves gathering inputs, scoring, and recommending actions. 


ANY! HIPAA, CMMC, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or “no framework.” The matrix is framework-agnostic.


An editable spreadsheet (matrix + scoring), a PNG heat map, and a one-slide summary. Tier 3 adds a short recorded walkthrough.


A list of your risks (or scenarios), rough likelihood/impact notes, and any business priorities. I provide a simple intake form.


Quarterly is typical, or after significant changes (new systems, audits, incidents). I offer a low-cost quarterly refresh.
