Click to expand the guide ## About the Risk management module With the new Risk management module, you can register, assess, and prioritize risks without leaving BigPicture. You can also monitor progress and link risks to your company's day-to-day work. When creating a risk register, you can choose from four industry-standard risk management templates. All templates are fully customizable. The module allows you to create as many risk registers and calculations per box as you need. The following video presents an overview of the Risk Management module. ### Multiple risk registers Multiple risk registers can help you with: - Categorizing risks by type, category, or nature. - Managing risk assessments by different teams. ![Screen showing a list of Risk Registers.](media://d5631572-1443-43b7-8387-aeae2c2eb7e9) ### Multiple calculations Multiple calculations within a single risk register can help you with: - Comparing initial risk assessments with residual risks. - Evaluating the same risks using different frameworks or scenarios. - Analyzing risks from various perspectives, for example, business and development. ![Risk register list showing multiple calculation columns.](media://4cd5019f-9f4a-4dac-ad2a-683671774905) ## Access and security See the [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPM/pages/2335408504](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPM/pages/2335408504) page to learn more. ## Features The table presents a list of features available in the Risk management module. | **Feature** | **Description** | | --- | --- | | [Create risk registers](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPM/pages/1918406430) | You can create as many risk registers per box as you need.
