What Is the Risk Register

Section titled “What Is the Risk Register”

The Risks module centers on a dynamic, source-agnostic Risk Register that unifies organizational risks in a single view, so teams get a prioritized, actionable to-do list of tactical risks to mitigate.

The platform ingests risks (RSKs) from your existing identification tools – manually, via CSV, or through API integrations – making the register a single clearinghouse for threats that can materialize today. From one view, users can capture risk details, set priorities and SLA-driven due dates, assign owners, and open new or assign existing service tickets to kick off remediation efforts.

Risk Lifecycle

Section titled “Risk Lifecycle”

The risk lifecycle begins with identification and ends with validated remediation and closure.

  1. New – A risk is logged in the register (manually, via API, via CSV, or extracted from a document by AI). Triage and investigation commence to confirm the reported urgency and assess impact.
  2. Urgency Proposed – Likelihood and Impact are assigned (manually or via AI Suggest Score), producing an Urgency rating and SLA-driven Due Date.
  3. Remediation – The risk is confirmed and remediation tasks are assigned. Depending on the ticketing system, a Jira or ServiceNow ticket is created to engage the appropriate teams and track progress. The Description and Comments fields are kept current so the risk register remains the organization’s system of record.
  4. Closure Proposed – Remediation is reported as complete and awaits validation. Useful for teams with multiple validators and approvers.
  5. Closed – Remediation is verified and the risk is formally closed.
