How billing works
The assessment process is forever free — you pay only for optional AI enrichment and expert validation. Download your data; server retention is limited.
The golden line: forever free without AI
Riskonami offers a forever free assessment process once you have an account
that can run assessments:
- all server-orchestrated phases, questions, and worksheets
- manual / Skip paths (no AI)
- deterministic report Start / Restart / Issue (without AI Fill)
You only pay when you choose optional paid services:
- AI enrichment / enhancement — optional AI help inside phases and report
AI Fill
- Expert validation — optional expert review / certification of an issued
report (uses expert validation tokens)
Everything else in the guided assessment is free — permanently, not a trial.

How you get access.
Download your data (important)
Download your reports and export your session data while you still have
access. Assessment data on the server is subject to a retention period and
is not kept forever. Free and inactive workspaces are cleaned up first so
we do not accumulate unbounded personal and organisational data.
Target retention (product policy direction):
| Account context | Intended server retention after last activity |
|---|
| Forever-free / inactive free sessions | 90 days (then purge) |
| Active paid AI / expert / access customers | 12 months after last activity (or longer under contract) |
| Enterprise contracts | As agreed in the order / DPA |
Until automated purge jobs are fully rolled out, treat server copies as
ephemeral: export anything you need for audit or ISMS records.
Use Profile / session export and issued report downloads for anything you need
to keep.
What costs money
AI enrichment tokens
Each time you affirm an AI enrichment gate, you spend 1 AI token
(unless an access period or staff account includes AI):
| Phase | Affirmed action |
|---|
| 1 | Organisation profile enrichment |
| 2 | Diagram AI import |
| 3 | Control list enrichment |
| 4 | Threat enrichment |
| 5 | VL enrichment |
| 5 | TEL enrichment |
| 7 | Control responsibility enrichment |
| 8 | Roadmap enrichment |
| 10 | Report AI Fill (per Fill request) |
Skip / manual stays free. Repair retries inside the same paid attempt do not
charge again.
Once-through assessments force enrichment after an intake confirm step
(classify pack → review irrelevant files / gaps / assumptions → Continue).
Start of the unattended run is blocked until you have enough AI tokens (or a
grant that includes AI). This is not the free Skip-AI process.
Expert validation
Optional expert validation of an issued report consumes expert validation
tokens (sold on Pricing or granted by your organisation). This is
separate from AI enrichment and from the free assessment process.
Access periods (optional)
Some organisations buy a time-limited access period that includes the
process and often includes AI for the duration of the grant. That is an
enterprise / subscription style option — not required to run a free manual
assessment when freemium access applies.
Assessment credits (legacy / some plans)
Older or special plans may still use assessment credits (reserve on session
start, consume when you end the assessment). Where freemium process access is
enabled, treat credits as secondary; the product intent is a free process
with paid AI and expert options.
