The problem Risk solves
A risk register in a spreadsheet is where risks go to be forgotten. Recording one takes a form only a specialist understands, so most people never bother. Ratings mean different things to different teams. And when the board asks how the organisation decided, the answer is a recollection.
How Risk fixes it
Beacon Risk gives everyone a way in. A guided walkthrough asks what the risk is, why it matters, how likely it is and what it would take, then sets a rating and the action items that follow. Every risk in the organisation sits on one clear matrix in plain colours, and trend reporting shows posture now and over time, quarter by quarter.
Everything Risk does
Every capability, what it does, and the sizes it is included at.
01
Active risks in the register
The register holds the risks you are working on right now; closed ones stay for history, and the cap keeps smaller tiers focused on what matters most, so the register is a live picture rather than an archive of everything ever worried about.
02
Anyone can record a risk, with a guided walkthrough
Risk capture usually falls to whoever can survive the spreadsheet. A guided walkthrough lets any person in the organisation describe a risk properly: what it is, why it matters, how likely and how bad, in minutes rather than with a risk analyst standing over them.
03
One matrix view: every risk, colour-coded by rating
Risk scattered across spreadsheets has no shape. The whole portfolio on one screen in plain colours shows where the exposure sits before anyone opens a document, and the view is live rather than rebuilt for each meeting.
04
Score risks in plain terms: how bad, how likely, what first
Scoring only works if people score the same way. Plain-language scoring keeps it simple and consistent, so priorities are defensible and comparable across teams instead of depending on who built the spreadsheet.
05
Treatment plans: accept, reduce, or transfer
A risk without a plan is a worry with a register entry. Every risk carries a decision and a treatment plan, including formal acceptance when that is the right call, so nothing lingers undecided while looking managed.
06
Full risk assessments on the NIST 800-30 method
Serious questions deserve a method that survives challenge. Structured assessments walk threat, vulnerability, and likelihood to a defensible conclusion of the kind regulators recognise, so the analysis stands up when someone senior asks how you got there.
07
Trend reporting: is the organisation getting safer?
The only question that matters at the top is whether the work is reducing exposure. Posture over time shows whether the programme is actually reducing exposure rather than just documenting it, and the direction is visible at a glance.
08
Formal risk acceptance with sign-off trail
Accepting a risk is a decision someone is accountable for. Acceptances record who approved them and when, so the trail exists when questions come later and nobody has to reconstruct why a known risk was tolerated.
09
Third-party risks live in the same register
Vendor problems are your problems when the service is yours. Third-party risks sit in the same register with the same treatment machinery rather than a separate silo, so the exposure picture includes the suppliers inside it.
10
Board-level dashboards
Boards need the shape of the risk, not the rows. The summary view shows posture, movement, and the handful of risks that deserve board attention, current when it is opened rather than rebuilt before the meeting.
