Tour of RiskCompass

RiskCompass is one shared risk register for your organisation. Staff assess risks, risk managers approve and monitor them, and the organisation administrator sets up the framework and the method. What you see depends on your role.

The roles

Each role can do everything the role above it in this table can, and more.

Role	What this role does
Viewer	Views the dashboard and the risks they own, and downloads an assessment as PDF or Excel.
Assessor	Creates new assessments and edits their own assessments while they are drafts. Submits them for review and records checks.
Risk manager	Edits all assessments, approves them, retires them and returns them to draft. Sees the register, the alerts, the measures and Insight, and fills in the registers.
Organisation administrator	Sets up RiskCompass: method, context, assessment framework, risk appetite, policy documents and users. Sees the audit log.

A Viewer or Assessor only sees the risks they own as risk owner in the Assessments list.

When you switch on components under Method, such as assets or threat actors, they appear under the heading Registers. A component that is switched off does not appear in the menu.

At the top right you find the language button (EN or NL), your name, your role and Log out. Click your name to open your account.

On a narrow screen the menu folds away behind the Menu button.

Light and dark

RiskCompass follows the setting of your computer or phone. If that is set to dark, RiskCompass is dark too.
