• Average residual risk score
• Overdue and upcoming actions
• Implemented control percentage
• Risk severity and action status distributions
• Security risk management priorities
Formula-driven indicators support recurring ISMS reviews, management reporting, and risk oversight.
🛡️ 2. COMPREHENSIVE 999-ROW RISK REGISTER
The central Risk Register contains 999 prepared risk rows, 30 structured fields per record, and 15 realistic sample risks.
Track:
• Risk IDs, assets, processes, and business units
• Threats, vulnerabilities, and risk scenarios
• Impact and likelihood ratings
• Inherent and residual risk scores
• Existing controls and effectiveness
• ISO 27001-oriented control references
• Risk treatment strategies and actions
• Responsible owners and implementation status
• Deadlines, SLA indicators, and evidence links
• Last and next review dates
Built-in formulas automate risk calculations and support consistent documentation and prioritization.
🧮 3. AUTOMATED RISK SCORING & SLA MANAGEMENT
The workbook includes:
• Inherent Risk = Impact × Likelihood
• Residual Risk adjusted for Control Effectiveness
• Automatic Low, Medium, High, and Critical risk classifications
• Calculated days remaining until deadlines
• Overdue, Due Soon, and Completed indicators
