How to effectively identify, record and mitigate risks – best practices

Having a strong risk management framework is crucial for organisations to identify and evaluate potential risks, as well as develop effective strategies to minimise them.

A risk register is a useful tool to enable an organisation to record all identified risks, define the likelihood and consequences of a risk occurring and to document actions being implemented to reduce the risks.

Corethix has been specifically designed to help any size organisation proactively identify, record and mitigate risks.

Risk Matrix

Configure risk matrix and risk levels

The first step in creating a risk register is to configure your organisation's risk register matrix and define the elements of likelihood and consequences. This is followed by setting up the risk levels that can be selected for each risk register.

The Corethix risk register matrix can be easily configured in multiple matrix sizes and risk levels can be customised by range and colour codes.

Define categories and treatment options

The next step is to define the risk register categories which will be assigned when adding new risk registers. This is followed by configuring treatment options that can be selected for each risk register.

  • Unlimited risk register categories with alert notifications
  • Configurable treatment options for each risk category
  • Link risk registers to specific categories automatically
Response Plans

Add risk registers and response plans

Once the risk register categories are configured, then risk registers can be added and linked to a specific category. Risk controls and action plans to mitigate each risk can then be setup and assigned to specific team members.

  • Link risk registers to specific categories
  • Set up risk controls and mitigation action plans
  • Assign actions to specific team members with due dates

Risk Settings

Define inherent and residual risk

Each risk register needs to have an inherent and residual risk setting to define the consequences and likelihood of the risk occurring and the treatments that will be implemented to mitigate the risk.

  • Easy to configure inherent and residual settings
  • Visualise settings in the risk register dashboard
  • Track risk reduction over time with treatment progress
Action Monitoring

Monitor risk register action plans

All risk register key controls and actions need to be defined and progress closely monitored to ensure risk mitigation actions are being implemented by the scheduled dates.

  • Detailed dashboard with real-time status of all actions
  • Track progress against scheduled implementation dates
  • Proactive management and follow up on overdue actions

Notifications

Send notifications and reminders

Once treatment options and associated actions have been created and assigned, it is critical to proactively monitor progress of actions and to follow-up where needed to ensure actions are implemented by the due dates.

  • Automated alerts when actions are late in being implemented
  • Reminders sent before action due dates
  • Notifications to administrators requiring attention
Proactive Management

Regular review and proactive management

The success of any program to identify, record and mitigate risks requires a regular review of the risk register to proactively ensure that risk treatments and action plans are being implemented and to identify any problem areas. This is best achieved by having an up to date and detailed risk register dashboard with analytics.

  • Real-time dashboard with analytics for proactive management
  • Up-to-date reporting and audit trail of historical data
  • Identify problem areas before they escalate
