What Is a Live Risk Register, and Why Should You Ditch the Spreadsheet?

Let’s face it — most risk registers today are still static spreadsheets. That may work in theory, but in practice, it’s a mess.
- No version control
- No link to actual mitigation efforts
- No visibility for leadership
- No integration with audit or compliance data
What you need is a live risk register — not just a table of risks, but an interactive system that updates in real time, reflects mitigation progress, and ties to the rest of your GRC data.
In LockThreat, your risk register:
- Tracks ownership, scoring, treatments, controls
- Links to real frameworks and policies
- Provides real-time status across business units
- Powers reporting with full traceability
It’s more than a list. It’s an operational hub for managing risk across the business.
