Governance layer · Risk register
Risk register built for care governance
Track, escalate, and mitigate risks, with a full audit trail connected to your compliance posture. Every risk carries a likelihood × impact rating, a named owner, and a review date.
CQC Regulation 17 requires evidence of risk management: identifying risks, taking action, and recording outcomes. The risk register is the system that produces this evidence.
How the register works
Key capabilities
Risk Kanban board
Open, Escalated, Mitigated, Accepted, and Closed columns, with card-level detail on owner, rating, and days open.
Risk rating
Likelihood × Impact scoring with colour-coded severity bands. Residual rating tracked separately after mitigation.
Linked control effectiveness
Active controls scored against each risk. Evidence that mitigation measures are working, not just documented.
Overdue tracking and escalation
Risks past their review date are flagged automatically. Escalation changes the compliance posture score.
Connected to compliance posture
Open and escalated risks change your inspection readiness state in real time, visible on the compliance dashboard.
Full audit trail
Who created, changed, and closed each risk entry, timestamped and immutable. CQC evidence on demand.
