Risk Register

A risk register spreadsheet with a 5x5 heat map: score each risk's likelihood and impact, and the heat map, the top 10 open risks and the overdue reviews all fill themselves. The files open in Microsoft Excel and in Google Sheets, have no macros and nothing to install, and are yours to reuse as often as you like.

What it does

Up to 250 risks, each with an owner, status, review date and mitigation
Score = likelihood x impact (1 to 25), rated Low, Medium, High or Critical for you
A 5x5 heat map that counts your open risks in every cell
Your top 10 open risks, ranked by score, with the owner and review date, ready to print
Overdue review dates turn red; closed risks gray out and drop off the totals
Make it yours: your title, rating bands, responses and status list on the Settings tab
Opens in Excel and in Google Sheets
