# Link Assets to Risks

Linking assets to risks helps you establish a clear relationship between critical assets and the risks that may impact them. By mapping risks directly to custom assets in the Asset Register, Sprinto enables more accurate risk context, better impact analysis, and stronger audit readiness.

This linkage ensures that risks are evaluated not in isolation, but in relation to the assets they affect.

***

### Features

* Link multiple risks to a single custom asset
* Browse risks by category for easier selection
* Search and map specific risks using the risk search
* Review selected risks before saving the mapping
* Edit or update mapped risks at any time
* View all mapped risks directly from the asset details panel

***

### Procedure

Follow these steps to link risks to a custom asset:

1. Log in to the Sprinto dashboard.
2. Navigate to **Data Library → Asset Register**.
3. Select the **Custom assets** tab.

### Key Notes

* Risks can only be mapped to **custom assets**, not auto-discovered assets.
* You can map multiple risks to a single asset.
* Risk mappings can be updated at any time without affecting existing risk records.
* Mapped risks help improve asset-based risk analysis and audit traceability.
