Risk register: likelihood and impact scores, linked actions
Sample company · demo data

ISO standards ask for risks and opportunities to be handled together. The risk module keeps each risk in a register: source, likelihood, impact, current control and the actions opened to reduce it.

Scoring is a company setting

Likelihood and impact scales, colour thresholds and the acceptable risk level come from settings. One company can keep separate registers for quality, OHS and information security.

FMEA studies

  • Process or product steps are written row by row.
  • Failure mode, effect, cause and current control are entered.
  • Severity, occurrence and detection give the RPN; the formula is shown on the row.
  • Actions are opened directly from high-scoring rows.

Risks can also be linked to opportunities: work that reduces a risk is often an improvement opportunity.
