What is Risk?
Risk is an AI-powered tool designed to help organisations build and maintain ISO 27001 compliant risk registers. It automates much of the manual work involved in documenting information security risks, analysing their impact and likelihood, and tracking mitigation efforts. The tool uses AI to suggest risk entries, generate control recommendations, and help teams structure their risk assessments according to ISO 27001 requirements. It's aimed at security teams, compliance officers, and organisations preparing for or maintaining ISO 27001 certification who want to reduce the time spent on risk documentation whilst maintaining audit-ready records.
