Risks you score, not just describe.
A 5×5 matrix with pre and post-control scoring, Bowtie diagrams for Critical and High residual items, and structured controls scored so the residual reflects what each one does. Living document, not a spreadsheet.
The risk register, scored before and after each control lands.
Risk registers don't have to die in a spreadsheet.
Most risk registers are a static workbook someone updated once for an ISO audit. ENSURE makes them living: every hazard scores pre-control and post-control, every control is a structured record with an owner and effectiveness rating, and high-residual items get Bowtie diagrams instead of free-text descriptions.
The same risk, scored before and after the control lands.
Likelihood × consequence, before controls and after. Auto-banded into four tiers (Low / Medium / High / Critical) on both sides so the residual gap is visible at a glance. The auditor can see what the control did, not just that you wrote one down.
- Configurable severity and likelihood labels per organisation
- Four-tier auto-banding by score (Low / Medium / High / Critical with editable thresholds)
- Pre-control and residual gap visible per row, owner-assigned with review dates
Bowtie required on Critical and High residual risks. Free text isn't enough.
For the risks that can actually hurt someone, ENSURE prompts for Bowtie analysis. Threats on the left, the top event in the middle, consequences on the right, and the prevention plus mitigation barriers between, all as structured data the auditor can read without your help.
- Threats, top event, consequences as discrete records, not paragraphs
- Prevention and mitigation barriers as separate rows on each side
- Each barrier maps to a control and the SOP that governs it
Risk, control, procedure, audit. All one trail.
A risk register isn't a destination. ENSURE keeps it tied to the procedures that govern the controls and the audits that verify them, so when one moves, the others know.
What QHSE Managers ask us first.
Our risk register is a stale Excel tab. How does this stay alive?+
Every risk carries a residual score you update as controls are added or re-assessed: pre-control and post-control, side by side. Close out the CAPA that added a control, re-score the residual, and the register reflects it. It's structured data an auditor can read, not a stale spreadsheet tab.
Can we customise the 5×5 labels for our industry?+
Yes. Severity labels (Insignificant through Catastrophic) and likelihood labels (Rare through Almost Certain) are editable per organisation. The tier bands (Low, Medium, High, Critical) and their score thresholds are also configurable.
When are Bowtie diagrams required?+
ENSURE prompts for Bowtie analysis on any risk with a Critical or High residual rating. The diagram captures threats on the left, the top event, consequences on the right, and the prevention plus mitigation barriers between, all as structured data so the auditor can read it without your help.
How are controls captured on each risk?+
Each risk carries its controls as structured records, type, owner, status and an effectiveness rating, and the residual score reflects what those controls actually do. Not free-text buried in a spreadsheet cell.
How does the register integrate with incidents and CAPAs?+
Every incident can spawn a risk, every audit finding can spawn a CAPA that adds a control to a risk, and each CAPA links back to the risk so you re-score its residual when it closes. The register is the connective tissue between investigation and prevention.
Is this ISO 31000 / 45001 compliant?+
It's built to support ISO 31000 and ISO 45001 conformance. The structure (hazard identification, scoring, control selection, residual evaluation, periodic review) maps to ISO 31000 risk management principles and the risk assessment requirements of ISO 45001 clause 6.1.2, ISO 9001 clause 6.1, and ISO 14001 clause 6.1. The Legal Register module tracks per-clause compliance with evidence.
