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.
