Stop a risk register that only gets opened before an audit

A risk register lives in a spreadsheet that only gets opened right before an audit, so risks with overdue mitigation plans go unnoticed the rest of the year. Build a register that surfaces overdue mitigations and due reviews continuously.

A spreadsheet doesn't send a reminder

When a risk register is only reviewed once a year, mitigation plans quietly slip past their target dates with nobody noticing until an auditor asks for status. The register becomes a compliance artifact instead of a working tool.

Score risks on identification, assign an owner and mitigation plan, and surface overdue items and due reviews on an ongoing dashboard.

From identification to review
  1. 1. Risk is identified and scored for likelihood and impact
  2. 2. Owner and mitigation plan are assigned
  3. 3. Mitigation progress is tracked against target dates
  4. 4. Overdue mitigations are escalated automatically
  5. 5. Risk is reviewed on a cadence tied to its severity

Example build brief

Example prompt
Build a risk register management app with risk identification and scoring, owner and mitigation plan assignment, overdue escalation, and severity-based review scheduling.

Scenarios to test in your preview

  • An overdue mitigation must escalate to the owner's manager, not stay silently assigned.
  • A closed risk must retain its full history for audit, not disappear from the register.
  • A high-severity risk must trigger a shorter review cadence than a low-severity one automatically.
