A risk register that stays current.
Most risk registers are spreadsheets updated once a quarter. TruOps builds yours from the findings and documents you already have and keeps it up to date.
Loss exceedance
Chance that a year’s losses exceed each amount
Top risks in dollars
Expected annual loss, after and before controls
Residual risk exposure
In dollars, against the risk appetite the board set
TruOps drafts risks from assessment findings, SOC 2 exceptions, scan results, and an industry risk library. Each one is rated on likelihood, impact, and velocity with an optional dollar value, duplicates from different assessments merge automatically, and residual risk updates as fixes land.
The problem
Registers get out of date, duplicate each other across teams, and carry ratings nobody can explain.
The challenge
Your risk register should stay current between meetings. Findings, exceptions, and scan results should become owned risks without a workshop, with dollar values on the same records. For full FAIR modeling, pair TruOps with a dedicated quant tool.
- Three lists with three owners, and the board has one question.
- Either every finding became a risk, or none did.
- The dollar figures come from the last workshop.
What you're probably using today
Registers usually live in Excel, a GRC risk module, or a quantification tool that isn't connected to findings.
| What you use now | Where it falls short | With TruOps |
|---|---|---|
| Spreadsheets, shared drives, and email | Your program lives in folders named after last year's audit. Owners paste screenshots the week before fieldwork, and nothing is dated, so you can't show what was true last quarter. | Upload those same files. TruOps pre-fills the assessment from them, cites every answer, and keeps technical checks running so you have evidence for the whole period. |
| Enterprise GRC suites | They can model almost anything, but that flexibility usually runs through implementation partners and admins, so every change turns into a project. | AI reads your existing documents and sets up the program. Your first assessment opens pre-filled with sources, and you make changes by asking in plain language. |
| A FAIR or quant model updated by hand | The dollar figures are only as current as the last workshop. | Findings, exceptions, and scans turn into draft risks, with dollar values on the same live records. |
How it works in TruOps
- DraftRisks from findings, documents, and your industry's risk library.
- RateLikelihood, impact, velocity, and dollars, suggested by AI and confirmed by a person.
- LinkRisks tied to controls, vendors, and assets.
- TreatMitigate, accept, transfer, or avoid, with owners and dates.
- UpdateResidual risk updates as controls change.
What you end up with
- One register across security, vendor, and operational risk.
- Every rating explained.
- Views as ratings, heat maps, or dollars.
How TruOps helps
- Industry risk library
- Start with risks written for your industry.
- Duplicate merging
- One risk per issue, with every source linked.
Questions
What should a risk register include?
At a minimum: the risk, its owner, likelihood and impact ratings, the controls that reduce it, its treatment, and its status. See What is a risk register?
Do we have to rip out the tools we already use?
No. TruOps connects to your cloud, identity, endpoint, vulnerability, and code tools. Spreadsheets, prior reports, and policies upload into the Data Room. If you're moving from a SOC 2 automation tool or an enterprise GRC suite, you bring over your frameworks, evidence, vendors, and risks.
Can we bring our existing assessments, control lists, and vendor files?
Yes. Upload workbooks, reports, policies, and vendor exports. TruOps turns them into structured questionnaires, controls, and risks, each linked to the file it came from, for you to review.
