Dynamic risk structure creation systems and/or methods of making the same

A computer implemented method of modifying or generating a dynamic risk model from a risk meta-model using a computer system that provides governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) functionality, the computer system including at least one hardware processor, the risk meta-model including (a) a plurality of object elements, (b) a plurality of dynamic risk elements, and (c) a plurality of dynamic control elements, the risk meta-model including a first relationship constraint and a second relationship constraint that is different from the first relationship constraint, the method comprising:

• adding, to a dynamic risk model, an object element that is from the plurality of object elements of the risk meta-model;
• adding, to the dynamic risk model, a first dynamic risk element that is from the plurality of dynamic risk elements of the risk meta-model;
• triggering, based on addition of the first dynamic risk element, the first relationship constraint of the risk meta-model to link the first dynamic risk element to the object element;
• adding, to the dynamic risk model, a first dynamic control element that is from among the plurality of dynamic control elements of the risk meta-model, wherein the first dynamic control element includes a plurality of fields;
• triggering, based on addition of the first dynamic control element, the second relationship constraint of the risk meta-model to link the first dynamic control element with the first dynamic risk element;
• and
• based on a first field of the plurality of fields being set to a first value, controlling a visibility of another field of at least one model element of the dynamic risk model.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions for execution by a computer system that provides governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC), the computer system including at least one processor and a storage system configured to store a risk meta-model for an organization that includes (a) a plurality of object elements, (b) a plurality of dynamic risk elements, and (c) a plurality of dynamic control elements, the risk meta-model including a set of enforceable rules including a first relationship constraint and a second relationship constraint that is different from the first relationship constraint, the stored instructions comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computer system to:

• add, based on received input, an object element to a dynamic risk model, the object element being based on one of the plurality of object elements included in the risk meta-model;
• add, based on received input, a first dynamic risk element to the dynamic risk model, the first dynamic risk element being based on one of the plurality of dynamic risk elements of the risk meta-model;
• based on addition of the first dynamic risk element to the dynamic risk model, trigger the first relationship constraint of the extended risk meta-model to automatically add, to the dynamic risk model, a first link between the first dynamic risk element and the object element;
• add, based on received input, a first dynamic control element to the dynamic risk model, the first dynamic control element being based at least one of the plurality of dynamic control elements of the extended risk meta-model, wherein the first dynamic control element includes a plurality of fields;
• and
• based on addition of the first dynamic control element to the dynamic risk model, trigger the second relationship constraint of the extended risk meta-model to automatically add, to the dynamic risk model, a second link between the first dynamic control element and the first dynamic risk element,
• wherein a first field of the plurality of fields controls visibility of another, different, field of at least one model element of the dynamic risk model based on the first field being set to a first value.
