# Associate a risk framework or risk statement with an entity type to generate risks

Risks are automatically generated when you make associations between risk frameworks or risk statements and entity types.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_risk.admin and sn\_risk.manager

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Risk** > **Scoping** > **Entity types**.

2.  Open the entity type record.

3.  In the **Risk Framework** or **Risk Statement** related list, click **Edit**.

4.  Select the risk frameworks or risk statements to associate to the entity, and click **Save**.

    All risk frameworks or statements are associated to the entity type and a risk is created for every risk statement against every entity in the entity type.
