Overview of all risks in the organization

The risk organizer is intended as a catalogue of risks in the organization. It is recommended to use the organizer together with the Countermeasure (Measure) organizer where you keep records of subsequent corrective actions to risks.

The risk register is therefore a list of all documented risks in the company, which was created on the basis of a risk analysis. You keep the register in a risk organizer. For each individual risk, its basic characteristics are described, such as its impact, its likelihood, to which asset it relates, and what measures in terms of corrective and preventive actions are related to the specific risk. The risk organizer is a valuable resource for companies and is at the heart of risk analysis. We then prioritize these specifically according to a range of impact and likelihood to prioritize and dedicate measures to the most important risks - those with high impact and the likelihood of occurrence. 

  • It is also useful to have such a document for compliance purposes. It can also serve as an organizer for continuous improvement.
  • Typically, risks are assigned to a risk owner. This is also recorded in the organizer. The risk owner is the person who is ultimately responsible for the risk (ensuring that it is properly managed).
