Create a Risk

Record what could go wrong and who will manage it. New risks start as Draft, giving you time to check them before making them active.


Steps

1

Open the Risk Register

Go to Registers → Risk and select Add Risk.

2

Describe the risk

Give it a clear Title and Description. Explain what could happen and the consequences for your RTO. Choose a business area if it helps organise your register, and a risk owner if you know who will manage it.

3

Rate the risk before controls

Choose the inherent Likelihood and Impact: how likely it is and how serious it would be before controls are in place. RTOSafe calculates the risk level from these ratings.

4

Save the draft

Select Create to save. You can link relevant scope items or continuous improvements from the risk’s details page.

5

Make it active

Select Make active when you’re ready. Add a Risk Owner and Next Review Date if prompted. You can add controls and assess the remaining risk later.


What Happens Next

Add controls and record an assessment to review how well the risk is managed.

For help thinking through an existing risk, open its risk assistant. To discover new risks from your Operational Profile, use AI Risk Suggestions.


Common Issues

I can't find the risk I just created

The register opens on Active by default. Select Draft to find new risks. To see all risks, open Filters and set Status to Any status.
