Managing reports

This page shows you how to manage reports using Risk Manager on Google Cloud.

Before you begin

  1. Complete the onboarding steps for your organization.
  2. Configure Risk Manager.

Create a report

A report is an organization-level object that aggregates information from Cloud Asset Inventory and Security Command Center to build an aggregate view of risk across your organization. These reports are aligned to the CIS Google Cloud Computing Foundations Benchmark v1.0.0. For more information on this framework, see Vulnerabilties findings.

To create a report, follow these steps:

Web UI

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Risk Manager page.

    Go to Risk Manager

  2. On the Risk Manager page, click Create new report.

    When the report has finished, you will see a green circle with a check mark. You can now click the date in the Created on column to view the report.

Download a report

After you create a report, you can download it.

To download a report, follow these steps:

Web UI

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Risk Manager page.

    Go to Risk Manager

  2. Click the date of the report that you want to download.

  3. On the report view page, click Download.

Approve a report

If you have the Report Reviewer role, you can approve a Risk Manager report. If you select Approved to share the report will be able to be sent to insurers. If the report is Unreviewed, the system generates a warning when a user attempts to send that report to insurers. If you select Do not share, the report cannot be sent to insurers.

This responsibility often lies with the treasury team in larger organizations.

To approve a report, follow these steps:

Send a report to insurance carriers

Risk Manager lets you send reports to partners who can provide cyber insurance policies. Our partners, MunichRe and Allianz can use Risk Manager reports to potentially reduce the cost of cyber insurance policies designed for Google Cloud customers.

Once you have created a report, and it has optionally been approved, you can send it to insurance carrier partners.

Reach out to your broker
