You really should show some code if you want help, but here's a simple vb.net solution.

I added a chart to the page and then ran the following code to produce the below chart

Create your datatable - you can drop this and connect with SQL

    Dim t As New DataTable
    t.Columns.Add("Risk Categories")
    t.Columns.Add("High Impact Risks")
    t.Columns.Add("Medium Impact Risks")
    t.Columns.Add("Low Impact Risks")
    t.Columns.Add("No Impact Risks")

    t.Rows.Add("Compliance,Law,Legislation", "4", "1", "0", "5")
    t.Rows.Add("Construction", "5", "1", "1", "0")
    t.Rows.Add("Design", "3", "1", "0", "0")
    t.Rows.Add("Financial", "6", "0", "0", "2")
    t.Rows.Add("Human Resources", "2", "0", "0", "10")
    t.Rows.Add("Information & Communication", "1", "0", "0", "1")
    t.Rows.Add("Interface", "1", "0", "0", "0")
    t.Rows.Add("Logistic", "0", "1", "0", "6")
    t.Rows.Add("Management", "0", "1", "0", "0")
    t.Rows.Add("Planning", "3", "0", "0", "1")

Add the points to the new chart

   Chart1.Series(0).ChartType = SeriesChartType.StackedBar
    With Chart1.Series(0)
        .Name = "High Impact Risks"
        .Points.DataBind(t.DefaultView, "Risk Categories", "High Impact Risks", Nothing)
    End With

    Chart1.Series.Add("Medium Impact Risks")
    Chart1.Series(1).ChartType = SeriesChartType.StackedBar
    With Chart1.Series(1)
        .Name = "Medium Impact Risks"
        .Points.DataBind(t.DefaultView, "Risk Categories", "Medium Impact Risks", Nothing)
    End With

    Chart1.Series.Add("Low Impact Risks")
    Chart1.Series(2).ChartType = SeriesChartType.StackedBar
    With Chart1.Series(2)
        .Points.DataBind(t.DefaultView, "Risk Categories", "Low Impact Risks", Nothing)
    End With

    Chart1.Series.Add("No Impact Risks")
    Chart1.Series(3).ChartType = SeriesChartType.StackedBar
    With Chart1.Series(3)
        .Points.DataBind(t.DefaultView, "Risk Categories", "No Impact Risks", Nothing)
    End With

    ''Show All Categories on RHS axis
    Chart1.ChartAreas(0).AxisX.Interval = 1
    Chart1.ChartAreas(0).AxisX.LabelAutoFitStyle = LabelAutoFitStyles.DecreaseFont

    ''Move legend to bottom and center
    Chart1.Legends(0).Docking = Docking.Bottom
    Chart1.Legends(0).Alignment = StringAlignment.Center
