An Introduction To RiskMate
RiskMate is an online platform for monitoring risks and the work being done to manage them. Staff maintain a shared register, record controls and update actions, while managers and directors review the latest position through dashboards and reports.
It provides a practical step on from separate spreadsheets. Instead of collecting updates for each meeting, authorised users can review current records and discuss which risks need attention. The platform supports the risk management process your organisation agrees.
From risk records to management reports
Start with the objectives you need to achieve and the risks that may affect them. Set impact and likelihood definitions, identify existing controls and assess the remaining exposure against your risk appetite. Give each risk an owner and record any further action needed.
- Keep risk ratings, controls and responsibilities together,
- Review management updates and incomplete actions,
- Monitor strategic, operational and project risks, and
- Export reports to PDF, Word or Excel for meetings and wider review.
RiskMate is fully hosted online and accessed through a modern web browser. Its structure can reflect different management levels and reporting needs. Read our data protection and hosting information for details.
Support oversight and assurance
The board needs to know where controls are working and where further evidence or action is needed. RiskMate helps bring risk information, supporting policies and management actions into view so these questions can be discussed.
Risk information can also inform risk-based internal audit planning. The platform provides a record to support review; the quality of assurance depends on the evidence recorded and the judgement of those reviewing it.
Choose the reporting modules you need
Alongside the core risk management module, optional modules cover incident reporting, complaints, whistleblowing and Freedom of Information enquiries. These help teams record incoming matters and follow their progress. Explore the features and licence options to see what fits your organisation.
