What is a Risk Register?

A risk register is a document used to identify, assess, and track risks that could affect an organisation or project. It helps prioritise which risks need immediate attention and what mitigations should be put in place.

Why Maintain a Risk Register?

Risk registers provide visibility into organisational threats, support compliance requirements (ISO 27001, SOC 2), and help allocate resources to the most critical risks. They're essential for informed decision-making.

Risk Scoring Matrix

Risk Score = Likelihood × Impact

  • 6-9: High priority - immediate action
  • 3-5: Medium priority - plan mitigation
  • 1-2: Low priority - monitor and accept

Best Practices

  • Review and update quarterly or after changes
  • Assign risk owners for accountability
  • Track mitigation progress and effectiveness
  • Consider residual risk after mitigations
