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.

” Our previous risk system had very limited functionality, was very difficult to use and was expensive. […] Reporting was manual, inefficient and error prone.With Symbiant, we now have a system which is simple, easy to use, cost effective, and connects risks, controls, incidents and action tracking in one tool. […] Reporting is quick and easy, and the system is very well designed and user friendly. The Symbiant team were very helpful and collaborative when adapting the system to meet our specific needs.”
— Camilla Owen, Head of Non-Financial Risk (1st Line of Defence)
— Megan Macpherson, Risk Analyst, SRBS”Before we moved to Symbiant, we were spreadsheet-based, which was a very manual and time-consuming process […]. We also had a bespoke ‘waterfall report’ made to show changes in risk scores month by month — it makes it very clear to see any changes over the last six months.”
”We sought a Risk and Compliance software solution due to the cumbersome and manual process of managing everything through spreadsheets and folders. […] Our account manager at Symbiant actively listens to our requirements and proposes enhancements to improve functionality. Symbiant has revolutionised our R&C department’s operations, easing our workload and enhancing compliance levels.”
— Dan Simpson, Risk & Compliance Director
— Catherine Gleeson, Head of Internal Audit & Investigations, Concern Worldwide“This free license has had a very positive impact for us. We have been able to continue providing an easy to use method to progress and close audit findings. Addressing internal audit findings timely is a cornerstone in providing assurance that the control environment is operating effectively, which is another positive impact of retaining this system. Also, Symbiant has excellent custom reporting options that facilitate updates to management and the audit committee.”
