Why Cardiff Metropolitan University Chose Symbiant's to Replace Excel and Transform Risk Oversight

Cardiff Metropolitan University is transforming the way it manages risk. By migrating away from spreadsheets to Symbiant’s Risk Management Software, they’ve gained powerful capabilities that support both qualitative assessment and non-financial academic goals. The intuitive interface, deep customisation, and real-time reporting have empowered the University to improve risk visibility and raise its overall level of risk maturity across departments.

Client feedback

Cardiff Metropolitan University : From Spreadsheets to Strategic Risk Management

” Having previously managed all our Corporate risks via spreadsheets we are currently migrating our risk registers onto the Symbiant Risk Management System.

The capabilities of the software are allowing us to considerably enhance the level of risk maturity across the University. It is allowing us to transform the management of our organisational risks to the extent that our Risk Management Policy is now being reviewed to ensure it takes into account the potential of the new software.”

Symbiant enables organisations to move beyond spreadsheets and into a centralised, strategic approach to risk. From higher education to healthcare, our platform is built to support real-world frameworks and qualitative assessments—while improving visibility, accountability, and reporting at every level.

Symbiant Risk Management Software

Transforming Risk Management with Comprehensive Reporting and Agile Development

Flexible Risk Scoring That Matches Your Methods

“As a Higher Education Institute our risks are, on-the-whole, assessed and evaluated on a qualitative rather than quantitative basis – Symbiant is able to accommodate this and allows us to clearly link risks to our non-financial, academic objectives.”

You can fully customise the scoring to match your organisation’s existing qualitative or quantitative methods and terminology. Reports and heat maps are equally flexible, and if needed, risk scores can be aggregated from related entries across your registers, giving you complete control over how risk is evaluated and presented.

Symbiant GRC, Risk and Audit Management Software: Intuitive and Familiar, Easy Adoption with Minimal Training Required

“Symbiant is also proving highly customisable to our needs with staff finding the user interface intuitive and familiar. This has considerably reduced the training and support burden as we roll it out.”

Symbiant is a flexible, agile, robust platform designed to help organisations collaborate, centralise insights, and tailor the system to their exact requirements. All views, reports, and dashboards can be customised.  You can assign specific layouts and permissions by user role or division, ensuring each person only accesses the data they need. Charts and dashboards provide real-time insights at a glance. You can click to filter, drill down into categories, or create division-specific summaries.

Comprehensive Reporting That Empowers Risk Ownership

“The extremely comprehensive reporting suite allows our schools and business units far more freedom and scope to identify and record their local risks since the large amounts of data generated can be easily and almost instantly reported upon in many ways including heat maps and colour coding. This is enabling our risk management to become far more comprehensive.”

Symbiant’s advanced reporting suite gives schools, departments, and business units the flexibility to manage their own risks—while still contributing to a unified organisational view. With instant access to custom reports, heat maps, and colour-coded visuals, users can easily analyse large volumes of data, spot patterns, and take informed action. It’s risk reporting made powerful, intuitive, and fully adaptable to your structure.

Fast, Reliable Updates That Scales with Your Needs

“Updates and improvements to the software are regular and reliable with Symbiant having introduced some minor requested enhancements within just a few days.”
We’re constantly improving our platform—guided by real client feedback. Enhancements are developed in-house, which means we can respond quickly and release updates without long delays. Whether it’s a minor tweak or a new feature, our clients benefit from a system that stays current, agile, and aligned to their evolving requirements.
