Collaborative Risk Workflow Aligned with ISO 31000
The Risk Workshops Module follows a clear, four-stage workflow that aligns with ISO 31000, ISO27001 and best-practice frameworks:
Identify – Collaboratively capture and evaluate risks for relevance
Measure – Score risks using logical, consistent criteria: Inherent, Residual, and Target
Treat – Propose, review, and vote on treatment strategies
Monitor – Assign action plans, track implementation, and link to the Risk Register
This multi-stage structure empowers teams to contribute with confidence, enhancing accuracy and insight, even without a risk management background.
Customisable, Role-Based Risk Assessment with Real-Time Collaboration
Only invited users can access each workshop, ensuring confidentiality and role-specific input. Teams can collaborate asynchronously, progressing through stages at their own pace. Risks are scored using customisable qualitative and quantitative models, with dropdowns to guide non-risk specialists.
Users provide rationale for each score, offering valuable insight into risk perception. Automated email alerts notify participants of stage changes, keeping everyone informed without the need for manual updates.
Link risks, incidents, and controls seamlessly across modules for a comprehensive flow of information. The Relationship Chart visualises connections, revealing patterns and cascading impacts, helping managers identify emerging issues and better understand risk relationships across your organisation.
Plan Treatments, Assign Actions, and Track Progress in Real Time
During the treatment phase, users can propose mitigation strategies or endorse others’ suggestions—promoting shared ownership and smarter decision-making. Once a plan is selected, action items can be assigned with owners, deadlines, and real-time progress tracking.
With everything managed in one place, the Risk Workshops Module creates a consistent, transparent, and scalable approach to risk treatment—accessible across your entire organisation.

Common Questions About Symbiant’s Risk Workshops Module
Explore answers to the most asked questions about Symbiant’s GRC and Audit Management software with an optional AI-Assistant, from features and benefits to pricing and integration.
What is Symbiant’s Risk Workshops Module?
Symbiant’s Risk Workshops Module is a virtual meeting space that enables teams to collaborate on risk identification, scoring, treatment, and action planning. Designed to engage non-risk personnel, the module allows invited users to participate asynchronously across four structured stages: Identify, Measure, Treat, and Monitor.
Workshop members can add new or existing risks, use qualitative and quantitative scoring sets, provide rationale, and suggest or vote on treatment plans. Workshop managers can adopt suggestions and assign action plans with due dates and updates tracked to completion. Automated notifications keep participants informed of each stage’s progress.
The Risk Workshops Module helps strengthen organisational resilience and aligns with ISO 31000 and ISO 27001 compliance standards. It integrates seamlessly with the Risk Register and Controls & Policies modules, offering a unified, accessible risk management platform across your organisation.

You can also select different scoring sets and factors, both qualitative and quantitative, to suit your scoring approach. Users are prompted to provide rationale for scoring, adding valuable context to decisions.
The module supports a four-stage workflow: Identify, Measure, Treat, and Monitor, which can be moved forward manually to allow asynchronous participation. Action plans can be created, assigned, and tracked, making the module adaptable to your structure, controls, and preferred treatment planning methods.
