Abstract
The presently disclosed systems and methods provide monitoring systems and methods for assessing risk based on individual risk control categories. In an embodiment, the risk is assessed based on data for a particular control category. A subset of the data is weighted according to a first weighting function, and a different subset of the data is weighted according to a second weighting function. The weighted data is combined to generate a control health index that may be used to assess risk.
Claims15
A risk monitoring system comprising:
- a first database;
- a plurality of sensors that provide sensor data to the first database to populate respective fields of the first database;
- and
- a computing device comprising:
- a second database;
- and
- a control system comprising a processor and a volatile memory, wherein the volatile memory comprises processor-executable instructions configured to cause the processor to:
- receive data from the first database;
- populate fields of the second database with the data, wherein the second database assigns the data to an individual risk control of a plurality of risk controls;
- extract control category data of each individual risk control from the second database, wherein each individual risk control comprises a plurality of control attributes indicated by the control category data, wherein each individual control attribute is associated with a category of control attribute of a plurality of categories of control attribute;
- perform a first weighting function on a first subset of the control category data for each individual risk control to generate a first score of the first subset, wherein the first subset of the control category data is related to a first category of control attribute;
- perform a second weighting function on a second subset of the control category data for each individual risk control to generate a second score of the second subset, wherein the first weighting function has a different weight than the second weighting function, wherein the second subset of the control category data is related to a second category of control attribute, and wherein the first subset and the second subset are non-overlapping;
- generate an index for each individual risk control based on a combination of the first score and the second score, wherein the index is part of a plurality of indices of the plurality of risk controls, and wherein each risk index is on a same scale;
- determine an estimated potential change to the index;
- and in response to the estimated potential change being above a predetermined threshold, allocate additional processing or data storage resources.
A method comprising:
- receiving, via a processor, sensor data related to a plurality of risk controls;
- processing, via the processor, the sensor data to generate control category data related to the plurality of risk controls, wherein each individual risk control comprises a plurality of control attributes indicated by a set of the control category data, wherein each individual control attribute is associated with a category of control attribute of a plurality of categories of control attribute;
- performing, via the processor, a first weighting function on a first subset of the control category data for each individual risk control to generate a first score of the first subset, wherein the first subset of the control category data is related to a first category of control attribute;
- performing, via the processor, a second weighting function on a second subset of the control category data for each individual risk control to generate a second score of the second subset, wherein the first weighting function has a different weight than the second weighting function, wherein the second subset of the control category data is related to a second category of control attribute, and wherein the first subset and the second subset are non-overlapping;
- generating, via the processor, an index for each individual risk control based on a combination of the first score and the second score, wherein the index is part of a plurality of indices of the plurality of risk controls, and wherein each index is on a same scale;
- determining, via the processor, an estimated potential change to the index;
- and in response to the estimated potential change being above a predetermined threshold, allocating, via the processor, additional processing or data storage resources.
