How to Run AI-Powered Risk Assessment in ClickUp

ClickUp provides an AI-powered Risk Assessment Agent that helps you collect risk data, analyze threats, and generate mitigation plans in one connected workspace. This guide walks you step-by-step through setting up and using that agent so your team can move from manual reviews to an automated, auditable risk process.

What the ClickUp Risk Assessment Agent Does

The Risk Assessment Agent in ClickUp is designed for teams that need a structured, repeatable approach to risk. Instead of scattered documents or emails, the agent gives you a single, guided workflow.

With the Risk Assessment Agent, you can:

• Collect detailed risk information via guided intake prompts.
• Analyze likelihood, impact, and exposure across scenarios.
• Generate mitigation strategies and recommendations automatically.
• Produce consistent outputs your stakeholders can review and track.

The agent relies on structured inputs and predefined prompts, so you get reliable and repeatable results every time.

Prerequisites to Use the ClickUp Risk Assessment Agent

Before you start, confirm the following in your workspace:

• You have access to the AI Agents features in your ClickUp plan.
• Your workspace owner or admin has enabled AI features for your team.
• You know which projects, departments, or processes you want to evaluate for risk.

Having this ready ensures you can configure the agent once and reuse it across multiple assessments.

How to Access the Risk Assessment Agent in ClickUp

To open the Risk Assessment Agent within ClickUp:

1. Sign in to your workspace with an account that has AI access.
2. Open the AI section or the area where AI Agents are listed in your sidebar.
3. Locate the Risk Assessment Agent in the available agents gallery.
4. Select it to open the dedicated risk assessment workspace and prompts.

Once open, you will see guided questions and options that walk you through your risk review.

Running Your First Risk Assessment in ClickUp

Follow these steps to run a complete risk review using the AI-powered Risk Assessment Agent in ClickUp.

Step 1: Define the scope of your assessment

Start by clearly defining what you are evaluating. The agent will ask you about the context so it can tailor its analysis.

• Specify the system, project, product, or process.
• Clarify the time frame or release window you are assessing.
• Mention any constraints or assumptions that matter.

The more specific your scope, the more targeted and actionable the analysis will be.

Step 2: Provide core risk inputs to the ClickUp agent

The Risk Assessment Agent uses structured data to generate insights. When prompted, provide:

• Known threats, vulnerabilities, or recent incidents.
• Business objectives or KPIs that could be impacted.
• Existing controls or safeguards already in place.
• Any regulatory or compliance obligations in scope.

You can paste notes, summaries, or links to internal documentation. The agent will use this information as the foundation of its assessment.

Step 3: Let the agent analyze likelihood and impact

After you provide your inputs, the Risk Assessment Agent in ClickUp evaluates key factors:

• Likelihood of each identified risk event.
• Business, technical, or operational impact if the risk occurs.
• Overall exposure based on the combination of likelihood and impact.

The agent then categorizes and prioritizes risks so you can focus on the most critical areas first.

Step 4: Generate mitigation strategies in ClickUp

Next, you will be guided to request mitigation recommendations. The agent can produce:

• Preventive controls to reduce likelihood.
• Detective controls to surface risks faster.
• Corrective actions to reduce impact after an event.
• Process improvements to strengthen long-term resilience.

You can ask the agent to refine or expand any recommendation to better align with your environment or constraints.

Step 5: Produce a structured risk assessment report

When the analysis is complete, the Risk Assessment Agent can summarize findings in a structured format, such as:

• Executive overview of key risks and trends.
• Detailed list of risks with likelihood and impact ratings.
• Recommended mitigations and owners.
• Suggested timeline or phases for implementation.

This structured output can then be stored, shared, or turned into tasks directly within your workspace.

Turning Risk Outputs into Tasks in ClickUp

The real value of the Risk Assessment Agent comes when you turn insights into action. In ClickUp, you can convert recommendations into tasks or subtasks and assign them to owners.

Typical follow-up actions include:

• Creating implementation tasks for new security controls.
• Logging process update work for affected teams.
• Scheduling follow-up assessments at a later date.
• Adding documentation tasks to update policies or runbooks.

By tracking everything in one place, you maintain a clear, auditable history of risk decisions and mitigations.

Best Practices for Using the ClickUp Risk Assessment Agent

To get the most from the agent, follow these best practices:

Use consistent templates for each ClickUp assessment

Keep your input structure similar across projects so results are easier to compare. You can reuse prompts or input formats that worked well for previous reviews.

Keep your context and data up to date

Regularly refresh the data you provide to the Risk Assessment Agent in ClickUp. Outdated information can lead to incomplete or inaccurate assessments.

• Update system diagrams or architecture notes.
• Include recent incident reports or postmortems.
• Reflect any new regulations or internal standards.

Run periodic reassessments

Risk is not static. Schedule recurring sessions with the agent to:

• Check whether mitigation actions reduced exposure.
• Identify new threats as your environment changes.
• Reprioritize work based on current conditions.

This helps you maintain a living, adaptive risk program instead of a one-time exercise.

• Create a dedicated risk space or folder for all assessments.
• Use custom fields to track likelihood, impact, and owners.
• Link risk tasks to related projects and objectives.
• Visualize mitigation progress on dashboards or views.

By combining the Risk Assessment Agent with the broader task and project management features, ClickUp becomes a central hub for continuous, AI-assisted risk management.
