One of the requirements of newer versions of ISO standards (e.g. ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015) is to conduct a high-level business risk assessment to evaluate the ‘context’ of your organisation. Activ’s Business Risk Manager module provides a simple, structured way to record the risks and opportunities that you identify, prioritise them and manage follow-up actions.
A simple workflow form ensures that you capture the key details of all identified risks/opportunities consistently. You can specify the controls in place to manage the risk/capitalise on the opportunity, rate the significance of the risk/opportunity to prioritise actions, create Tasks and raise Improvement Logs to manage follow-up actions, and maintain an overview of your business risk profile via automated Graphs and Reports.

The Business Risk Manager module has six tabs:
Register tab – all risks/opportunities (Issues) are listed here. Using the fields at the top of the tab, you have the option to filter/search for an Issue using several criteria. Clicking on any individual Issue in the Summary column on this tab opens it.
Linked Improvement Logs tab – for quick reference, lists all Improvement Logs that have been linked with risks/opportunities
Linked Tasks tab – for quick reference, lists all Tasks that have been linked with risks/opportunities
Reports tab – use this to generate reports on the number of risks/opportunities matching criteria specified by you.
Graphs tab – use this to view reports on the number of risks/opportunities matching criteria specified by you in graph format.
Settings tab – configure the options available in drop-down menus and checklists in several of the fields in your risks/opportunities Details form so that the Business Risk Manager module meets the exact needs of your particular organisation.

Clicking on an individual Issue on the main Register tab opens the individual Issue. The complete record of an individual Issue is housed on up to five tabs.
Details tab – this tab contains all the specific information relevant to the Issue including associated controls.
History tab – houses the complete record of changes made to any individual Issue. Each time a change is made, a new version is automatically saved and all versions can be selected for viewing on this tab.
Improvement Logs tab – lists all Improvement Logs that have been linked with the individual risk or opportunity.
Tasks tab – lists all Tasks that have been linked with the individual risk or opportunity.
Access Rights tab – (only present if the Issue is private). The access rights given to specified individuals to the private risk/opportunity are managed here.
