Managing risks using the Risk Workflow

Click on Risk>Registers. By default, you will be able to see the different stages of your risks i.e Triage, Assess, Active, Review, and Closed.

Note: Unassigned is not a stage of the workflow just an indication of risks that are in the unassigned category.

By default, all your current risks will be marked as Active. Any new risks created afterward will be assigned the default stage as configured and defined for your team. For instance, if you create a new risk it will be assigned to the Triage stage and not Active as per the screenshot below.

From Risks>Registers you will be able to see any risks that are in different stages of the Workflow from the toolbar. You can click on any of the stages to see what risks are in the stage.

When you create a new Risk from Risk>Registers it will be assigned to the default stage depending on what stage you have set as a default stage, in the below example any new risk created will be assigned to Triage.

To filter by tags click on Tags and filter select or search for the tags you wish to filter yours risks by.

To see the workflow of all your risks. Click on Manage Columns, on the right hand side click on Add Column search for Workflow Stage and hit enter.

Once you have selected the Workflow Stage option you can then rearrange the order of columns by dragging and dropping them. When you're happy with your arrangement your risk will look like this.

If you click on one of your risks you will be able to see the Workflow stages. In this case we can see that the risk "Targeted Cyber Attack" was assigned to Triage as that is our default stage, then it will undergo Assess, Active, Review, and Closed stages.
