The short version

What is the Risk Register Template?

The Risk Register Template is a free, structured way to log and track enterprise risk. Each entry records the risk and its category, the owner, likelihood and impact scoring, the inherent rating, the controls in place, the residual rating after controls, the treatment decision, and the next review date. Most risk programs start in a spreadsheet, so the template is built to match how a risk team already works and to carry over cleanly when you decide to operationalize it in a platform.
