Risk management

A risk register your board can actually read.

Capture risks in plain language, score them on your own matrix, compare them with your appetite, link them to the controls, findings and cases behind them, and show leadership how they are moving.

Emerging and AI

AI in every step

AI keeps the register current between reviews.

New risks from what you already know

AI looks across audit findings, cases, assessments and vendor reviews and proposes new risks, or changes to existing ones, for an owner to accept.

Clear risk statements

Turn a one-line label like “cyber” into a statement with its cause, event and consequence, and a suggested score to start from.

Scores that go stale get flagged

When a linked control fails a test or related cases rise, AI flags the risk for reassessment instead of waiting for the annual review.

The board narrative, drafted

Summarize what moved, what is above appetite and what is being done about it, in language a board reads.

AI-proposed new and changed risks, each with its sources, for an owner to accept or dismiss

Register

Risks written so anyone can understand them.

Every risk says what could happen, why, and what it would mean, with an owner who is accountable for it.

Statements with a cause, an event and a consequence

An accountable owner and a risk manager who does the work
