Does your organization need multiple Risk Registers?

Large organizations and/or risk managers may need more than one Risk Register to manage risks in a given area. Examples of why include:

  • Scope

    • High-level business risks versus system-level risks

  • Type

    • Infosec risks versus financial risks with different scaling

    • Quantified risks as a distinct group of risks

  • Business divisions

    • Separate business units or subsidiaries

    • Acquired companies

    • Product lines, potentially aligned with teams

    • Countries of operation

Creating a new Risk Register

  1. From the left menu, select Risk.

  2. Click New.

    The Create register window opens.

  3. Below Register name, enter a name for the Risk Register.

  4. Optionally, add a description.

  5. Click Create.

    The new Risk Register is created.


πŸ’‘ Tip

A Risk Register can be archived if you no longer need it. See Archiving and unarchiving a Risk Register
