What does this PR do?

Probo helps startups manage compliance — but the risk library
had some gaps that compliance professionals would immediately notice.

As an ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, I went through risks.json and
found 3 categories significantly underrepresented compared to others.

So I added 9 new risks that real startups face every day.

Risks Added

Human capital (6 → 9)

  • Security awareness gap due to lack of employee training
  • Insider threat due to disgruntled employee
  • Compliance violation due to inadequate role-based training

Operations (7 → 10)

  • Data loss due to absence of backup and recovery procedures
  • Compliance failure due to untracked third party vendors
  • Service disruption due to missing incident response plan

Strategic (7 → 10)

  • Regulatory risk due to expansion into new markets
  • Security posture weakness due to rapid product scaling
  • Loss of enterprise deals due to missing security certifications

Why these specifically?

These aren't random additions. Every single risk maps directly
to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A controls and reflects real
scenarios I've studied and worked with hands-on.

A startup missing these risks in their assessment is a startup
walking into an audit unprepared.
