# Perform any object assessment in the Risk Workspace

Assess the risks on any object or record in ServiceNow®. An example of object assessment is assessing change management or assessing a citation.

## Before you begin

## About this task

To perform an object risk assessment, a prior knowledge of risk is not necessary. When you perform any object assessment in the Risk Workspace, you do not see the description of the risk and any reference information because the entire context of risk is not required. You can configure the risk assessment button in the object record and start the assessment.
