For Upstream + Midstream + Downstream Operators
In oil and gas, a missed inspection or an uncontrolled change is not a paperwork problem, it is a release, a fire, or a pipeline failure, and a string of citations behind it. No sector answers to more regulators at once: process safety, pipeline integrity, environmental risk, and pipeline cybersecurity each demand their own evidence, and most teams keep all of it in four disconnected tools with a spreadsheet stretched between them. RiskWatch runs every regulator on one platform, so a change you make once proves out across all of them, and the inspector who arrives this quarter gets a ready package instead of a fire drill.
Trusted by upstream + midstream + downstream operators managing PHMSA, OSHA PSM, EPA RMP, TSA security directives, and API standards across drilling, production, gathering, transmission, processing, refining, and marketing assets.
Why HSE + Integrity Teams Pick RiskWatch
RiskWatch puts process safety, pipeline integrity, environmental risk, and pipeline cybersecurity on one platform, scored against one shared set of controls. A management-of-change you log once, a hazard analysis you run once, proves out to every regulator that asks for it, so your HSE, integrity, and process-safety leads stop maintaining parallel binders that say the same thing. The inspector who shows up gets a ready evidence package, not a week-long scramble, and your VP, integrity manager, and process-safety coordinator all work from the same record. (Covers API RP 1173, OSHA PSM, EPA RMP, PHMSA pipeline regulations, TSA security directives, and BSEE SEMS on one library.)
Log a management-of-change or a hazard analysis once and it satisfies your process-safety program, your pipeline safety management plan, and your environmental risk program at the same time, so you stop keeping parallel binders. (Cross-maps PSM 14 elements, API 1173 SMS, and EPA RMP, sharing PHA, MOC, MOC-PSSR, mechanical integrity, and incident-investigation evidence.)
After the Colonial Pipeline shutdown, pipeline operators owe the government cybersecurity proof on a deadline. RiskWatch maps that to the same access-review and patch-management records you already keep for safety, so it is one more view, not one more tool. (Tracks the TSA pipeline-security directives as an overlay.)
Your VP HSE, integrity manager, and PSM coordinator share one platform without enterprise-GRC overhead. Pre-built libraries cut prep time, and white-glove implementation goes live in 30 days, not six months.
The Oil + Gas Regulatory Landscape
The TSA Pipeline Security Directive arrived after Colonial Pipeline (May 2021). PHMSA inspection enforcement collected $5M+ in 2024 civil penalties. OSHA PSM 14 elements have not changed since 1992 but still drive most refinery audit findings. EPA's amended RMP rule (Safer Communities by Chemical Accident Prevention) took effect in 2024. Each regulator wants its own evidence package.
Three Domains, One Platform
RiskWatch covers all three. Each domain has a dedicated workflow, scoring model, and remediation queue. They share data so a single management-of-change event satisfies PSM §1910.119(l), API 1173 §6.4, MOC-PSSR, and EPA RMP §68.75 simultaneously.
Survey-based risk assessment across PHA, mechanical integrity, asset register, and process-hazard scoring, aligned to API 1173 SMS + PSM + RMP.
PHMSA 49 CFR 192/195, OSHA 1910.119 PSM, EPA 40 CFR Part 68 RMP, BSEE SEMS, API standards in one cross-mapped library.
TSA Pipeline Security Directives, ANSI/API 780 security risk assessment, IT/OT cybersecurity, and physical security across every asset.
The Coverage Gap
EHS platforms cover incident reporting + leading indicators. Pipeline integrity vendors cover MAOP + ILI tracking. PSM specialty tools cover the 14 elements. TSA-directive specialty cover cyber. Each does one job. HSE + integrity teams still operate four parallel programs.

RiskWatch is the only platform covering all six oil and gas compliance domains: API RP 1173 SMS, OSHA PSM 14 elements, EPA RMP, PHMSA 49 CFR 192/195, TSA Pipeline Security Directives, and multi-asset coordination. EHS platforms cover incident reporting. Pipeline integrity vendors cover MAOP + ILI. PSM specialty tools cover the 14 elements. Each does one job. RiskWatch unifies all six in one survey-based assessment workflow.
How It Works
RiskWatch is a survey-based assessment platform. The work is structured around questionnaires that capture process-safety, integrity, environmental, and cybersecurity posture in a consistent format, then scored against every framework you align to.
For oil and gas, that workflow runs continuously across API RP 1173 SMS, OSHA PSM 14 elements, EPA RMP three program levels, PHMSA inspection cycles, TSA pipeline security directives, and BSEE SEMS audits. A single MOC record scores against PSM §1910.119(l), API 1173 §6.4, EPA RMP §68.75, and the operator's own change-control SOP simultaneously.
The same platform runs all of it, surfaces gaps before regulator arrival, assigns remediation owners, and tracks completion. Replace the four parallel tools and the spreadsheet bridge between them.

Frameworks We Cover
RiskWatch ships with pre-built libraries for every major US oil and gas regulation + recommended practice + industry standard. Map controls once. Score against the framework that matters this audit cycle.
Trusted by 500+ risk and compliance teams
We had three program owners running PSM, integrity, and TSA cyber on three different tools. Now it's one platform. PSM 14-element scoring, API 1173 SMS plan, PHMSA integrity program, and TSA SD-Pipeline overlay all run from the same evidence vault. Our last PHMSA inspection produced two notices of probable violation instead of nine.
