Risk management software, end-to-end.
From threat to treatment. 27 integrated risk modules, a Global Register that rolls up every risk source, KRI auto-escalation, and Risk-to-Compliance mapping that bakes audit results straight into your risk scores.
- Inherent · residual · target risk scoring
- 4-option treatment workflow (Mitigate / Transfer / Avoid / Accept)
- KRI library with threshold-based auto-escalation
- Risk-to-Compliance mapping bakes audit results into risk scores
What is risk management software?
The board rollup builds itself the night before — because risks, controls, and audit findings already live in one register. One Global Register, KRIs that update on a cadence, and treatment workflows that close the loop with audit findings. Aligned to ISO 31000, NIST RMF, and COSO ERM. Also called a risk management system, tool, platform, or SaaS — what makes it different is Risk-to-Compliance mapping: an audit finding lifts the residual score on the related risk automatically.
Spreadsheet risk registers don't roll up. And the audit always asks for the rollup.
If your enterprise risk picture is assembled the night before the board meeting from four spreadsheets, three SharePoint folders, and one PDF nobody updated — you already know the cost. Here's what that costs you.
Risks live in silos. Audits ask for one register.
Department spreadsheets. Project trackers. Vendor questionnaires nobody opens. The Global Register rolls up every register into a single source of truth.
Risk scoring drifts without controls feedback
Inherent score is one number. Residual after controls is the number that matters. Compliance assessment results feed straight into risk scoring.
KRIs you set once. Then forget.
Half of organizations track KRIs. Almost none auto-escalate when thresholds breach. Our KRI library fires alerts the moment a threshold trips.
Every module a modern risk team needs — in one platform.
Sixteen flagship modules that share data, permissions, and audit trail. Built around the Global Register so risk rolls up across departments, projects, and entities.
Risk landscape on one screen
Heat maps, trend lines, top-N risks, treatment status, and KRI breaches in widgets that read in 10 seconds.
From identification to closure
Run assessments against any Risk Template. Capture inherent, residual, and target scores per finding.
Pre-defined assessment structures
Standardize how risks are captured, scored, and tracked across teams. Reuse across registers and assessments.
Every register, rolled up
Department, project, and vendor registers consolidated into one organization-wide single source of truth.
Threat catalog, version-controlled
Library of internal and external threats — from phishing to regulatory shifts to supply-chain disruption.
Internal weaknesses tracked to controls
Process gaps, missing controls, untrained staff, unpatched systems — all linked to the risks they create.
What you actually protect
Physical, digital, human, informational. Assets carry the risks; controls protect the assets.
Key Risk Indicators with auto-escalation
Centralized KRI definitions with thresholds. Breach a threshold, auto-notify the risk owner, open a ticket.
Mitigate · Transfer · Avoid · Accept
Pick a treatment per risk. Track approval, document acceptance rationale, push mitigations into Tasks.
Controls that prove themselves
Map every risk to one or more controls. Test effectiveness on schedule. Roll up control health to risk score.
Compliance results feed risk scoring
Map risks to compliance question categories. When an assessment finds a gap, the linked risk score updates.
Findings that route themselves
Convert risk findings into recommendations with owner, due date, and status — synced to Tasks.
"Who changed this?" answered instantly
Timestamped log of every risk update, score change, treatment decision, and owner reassignment.
Treatment that closes itself
Convert recommendations to assigned, tracked tasks. Status, due dates, automated reminders.
Onboard 500 risks in an Excel paste
Bulk import risks, controls, KRIs, threats, vulnerabilities, and assets. Customize fields without IT.
Risk reports auditors will read
Risk Audit Register, treatment summaries, residual-risk reports, control-effectiveness exports.
Four treatment options. One engine.
Aligned to ISO 31000 and COSO ERM. Pick a treatment per risk, document the rationale, route it through approval, and push the mitigations into the same Tasks engine that drives compliance remediation. Every step recorded in the Risk Audit Register.
- Mitigate — implement controls to reduce likelihood or impact
- Transfer — shift risk via insurance, contracts, or third parties
- Avoid — eliminate the activity or exposure that creates the risk
- Accept — document, monitor, and tolerate within risk appetite
External or internal events that could harm assets — phishing, regulatory shifts, insider misuse.
Internal weaknesses — missing controls, gaps in process, unpatched systems, untrained staff.
Anything of value worth protecting — PHI, IP, facilities, third-party data, customer trust.
Threats × Vulnerabilities × Assets = Risk.
Each risk in the register links to the threats that could trigger it, the vulnerabilities that make it possible, and the assets it would harm. Three connected modules — Threats, Vulnerabilities, Assets — feed into the Risk Register so you can trace any risk score back to its root.
- Risk Templates as the parent — shared structure for every assessment, register, and report
- Risk vs Compliance mapping — compliance results auto-update mapped risk scores
- KRI thresholds that escalate — no more dashboards nobody checks
- Global Register rollup — one view across every department, project, and entity
Compliance results feed risk scoring.
Map each risk to one or more compliance question categories (ISO 27001 Annex A, HIPAA Security Rule, SOC 2 trust services criteria, NIST 800-53 controls). When a compliance assessment logs a finding, the linked risk score updates automatically. Audit results stop being separate from risk — they become the input that drives it.
- Inherent vs Residual vs Target — track all three across the lifecycle, per risk
- Heat-map exports — 5×5 likelihood × impact, branded for your board
- Risk Audit Register — timestamped trail of every score change and decision
- KRI breach reports — monthly trend, threshold history, and escalation log
- Risk-to-control coverage — spot risks without controls before the auditor does
From first risk to audit-ready in five stages.
Most teams complete stages 1–3 within their first week. Stage 4 runs continuously. Stage 5 is on-demand the moment your auditor asks.
Pick a Risk Template
Standardize how risks are captured. Choose from pre-built templates or build your own with custom fields.
Build the Register
Bulk-import risks, threats, vulnerabilities, assets. Link controls, owners, and treatment options to each risk.
Score and Treat
Capture inherent score, apply treatment, capture residual. Convert findings to tracked tasks with owners and due dates.
Monitor and Escalate
KRI thresholds run continuously. Compliance assessments feed risk scoring. Global Register stays in sync.
Report and audit
Risk Audit Register, KRI breach trends, treatment summaries — board-ready in two clicks.
The board update that stopped being a fire drill.
Real risk teams. Real Monday-morning rollups. Real before-and-after numbers.
We replaced four spreadsheets and a SharePoint site with one Global Register. Board updates went from a 2-day scramble to a Monday-morning export.
“We replaced four spreadsheets and a SharePoint site with one Global Register. Board updates went from a 2-day scramble to a Monday-morning export.”
“KRI auto-escalation caught a credential-stuffing trend three weeks before it would have hit IR. The risk owner had a ticket waiting in his queue.”
“Risk vs Compliance mapping finally tied our SOC 2 program to actual risk reduction. Board meetings stopped being about findings and started being about exposure.”
If your risk program references it, we map to it.
ISO 31000, NIST RMF, COSO ERM, FAIR, OCTAVE, plus industry-specific frameworks for banking, insurance, energy, and healthcare.
