RER replaces scattered spreadsheets with one living risk register. Score likelihood and impact, assign owners and controls, track actions to completion, and give your board a clear picture in minutes.
Spreadsheets are where risk registers go to be forgotten. RER keeps yours current, consistent and accountable.
Example entries showing how risks appear in RER. Scores are likelihood × impact, from 1 to 25.
| ID | Risk | Inherent | Residual | Owner | Next review | Status | |

| R2 | Loss of a key supplier Operational | 16 | → | 6 | OPOperations | Quarterly | In review |

One 5×5 likelihood and impact scale, with clear definitions, used by every team.
Record the controls in place and see how far they bring each risk down.
Turn decisions into actions with owners, due dates and automatic reminders.
Set review frequencies by risk, and get nudged before anything goes out of date.
Board and committee reports built from live data, ready to share or export.
Every change is logged — who changed what, and when — for full accountability.
RER follows the familiar risk management cycle used by organisations of every size.
Describe the cause, the event and the effect, and file it under the right category.
Rate likelihood and impact to get an inherent score, then score again after controls.
Choose how to respond, add controls and agree the actions needed.
Keep risks under review and report the position to the people who need it.
Record which response you've chosen for every risk, so decisions are clear and auditable.
Accept the risk where it sits within your appetite, and keep it under review.
Add or improve controls to reduce the likelihood or the impact.
Share or pass on the risk, for example through insurance or a contract.
Stop the activity that gives rise to the risk altogether.
