Risk Register Software

Risk register software your whole team can actually use.

Track risks, score them on a 4×4 scale, auto-map to SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA / NIST CSF controls, and generate mitigation tasks on critical and high-severity items. Built for small and mid-market security teams — no enterprise-GRC pricing, no mandatory onboarding call.

Why a real risk register beats a spreadsheet

Most small security programs start with an Excel risk register. It works — until it doesn't. The risks don't connect to controls. The controls don't connect to frameworks. Board updates are manual. Mitigation tasks live somewhere else (Jira, Notion, nowhere). And nobody updates the file consistently enough to trust on a bad day.

A proper risk register — in a system that also knows your frameworks and your evidence — compounds value. Add a risk; AI suggests the controls it affects. Mark a control as failed; the related risks auto-escalate. Generate a board summary; the live risk register is the source. A single risk register in a spreadsheet is static text; in a Security Program OS it's a live input to every downstream decision.

Radius360's risk register is purpose-built for the pattern.

Risk register capabilities

4×4 Impact × Likelihood scoring

Clear severity buckets (Critical ≥12, High ≥8, Medium ≥4, Low <4). AI-assisted scoring at risk creation — suggests impact and likelihood based on risk description, category, and affected assets.

Cross-framework control mapping

Every risk mappable to controls across SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, NIST CSF, CMMC, PCI DSS, and 25+ others. AI pre-fills mappings based on the risk description; human review finalizes. Framework posture reacts when risks change.

Auto-generated mitigation tasks

Critical and High risks auto-spawn mitigation tasks with owner, due date, and priority. Tasks link back to the risk and roll up into the dashboard. No more risks without owners, no more tasks orphaned from the risk they address.

AI risk enrichment

Paste a short risk description; AI fills in the category, suggested scoring, related controls, mitigation plan, and framework mappings. Your reviewer edits rather than authoring from scratch.

Heatmap + trend over time

4×4 heatmap view of the full register. Trend chart showing risk count, severity distribution, and mitigation velocity over weeks. Board-ready in one screenshot.

Decision defer workflow

When a risk decision needs committee input, the 'Defer to committee' workflow captures recommended action, assigns the committee, and tracks the decision timeline. No risks in limbo, no email threads lost.

Frequently asked

Is this risk register software for small business, or for larger orgs?+

Both. The Starter tier is priced for small teams — solo security leader or a founding team — and covers the full risk register + 4×4 scoring + mitigation task automation. Larger teams get multi-framework mapping, AI-generated mitigation plans, and unlimited users on higher tiers.

What scoring model does Radius360 use?+

4×4 Impact × Likelihood (so 1–16). Critical ≥12, High ≥8, Medium ≥4, Low <4. Balances clarity (scales fit on a 2-axis heatmap easily) with enough granularity for real decision-making. NIST-aligned but not dogmatic about the specific model — exports support standard risk register formats.

Does it link risks to controls and frameworks?+

Yes. Every risk can be mapped to one or more framework controls (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, NIST CSF, etc.). AI suggests control mappings at risk creation time based on the risk category and description. The framework posture score reacts when a mapped control's risk state changes.

What about mitigation tasks?+

Auto-generated for critical and high risks. Each task has an owner, due date, priority, and is linked back to the risk. Overdue tasks surface in the dashboard and on the weekly alert email. Tasks close out when their risk is marked mitigated or accepted.

Can I import an existing risk register from a spreadsheet?+

Yes — CSV import with column mapping. Most customers import their existing Excel risk register and have it live in the platform within 30 minutes. From that point, evidence automation and cross-framework mapping compound the value.

How does this compare to a standalone risk register tool?+

Standalone risk register tools (LogicGate, RiskLens, Resolver) are enterprise-priced and focused on risk quantification. Radius360 is broader — the risk register is one module of a security program OS that also runs compliance, evidence, policies, and board reporting. For a small-to-mid-sized security program, one platform doing all of that beats four tools in integration maintenance alone.
