Risk management

Record risks with owners, assess them consistently, assign treatment, and capture acceptance as an explicit decision.

The problem it solves

Risk registers are often assembled for an audit and abandoned afterwards. Treatment plans have no owner, and acceptance is implied by silence rather than recorded as a decision someone made.

How it works

  1. 1

    Identify and assess

    Risks are recorded against the assets, controls or processes they affect, and assessed using a consistent methodology so scores can be compared.

  2. 2

    Treat or accept, explicitly

    Each risk carries a treatment decision. Acceptance is a recorded action with a named accepter and a date, not an absence of activity.

    • Treatment plans with owners and target dates
    • Explicit acceptance records retained in history
    • Residual risk visible alongside inherent risk
  3. 3

    Review on a cadence

    Risks are reviewed on a schedule and when their context changes, with the review history retained for assurance.
