Risk Register for financial services

Make risk visible across a fast-moving financial organisation.

Connect operational, technology, third-party, regulatory change, and transformation risks to the Jira work your teams already manage.

Financial services risk and technology professionals collaborating in a modern workplace

A clearer view of uncertainty

Move beyond disconnected spreadsheets

Financial services teams operate across complex systems, critical suppliers, evolving obligations, and continuous change. When risk information is scattered across spreadsheets and presentations, ownership becomes harder to see and reporting begins to date the moment it is assembled.

Risk Register brings structured risk management into Jira. Teams can identify, assess, treat, monitor, and report on risk alongside the initiatives, incidents, controls, and response activities that shape the organisation’s exposure.

It supports your governance process; it does not prescribe a proprietary methodology or replace the judgement of risk and compliance professionals.

Built for real financial-services work

One approach across multiple risk contexts

Use focused registers for individual teams and programmes, or consolidate relevant risks for leaders using saved Jira filters.

Operational risk

Create a consistent view of process, people, systems, and service-delivery risks—and keep treatments connected to accountable Jira work.

Technology and cyber risk

Bring technology risk into the same environment as change, incidents, security work, and delivery activity so teams can act with shared context.

Regulatory and compliance change

Assess the uncertainty around regulatory initiatives, assign response actions, and retain a clear history of decisions and delivery.

Third-party risk

Track supplier and dependency risks, nominate owners, monitor treatments, and consolidate exposure across teams or portfolios.

Transformation programmes

Give programme leaders a current view of risks across projects, from core-system modernisation to new products and operating-model change.

Enterprise visibility

Build registers from saved Jira filters to bring together relevant risks across business units, programmes, and portfolios.

Risk information in context

Connect governance decisions to delivery

A risk register is most useful when its actions are visible and owned. Risk Register lets teams assess exposure, link treatments to Jira work, and follow progress using familiar workflows and collaboration tools.

  • Assign owners and retain a traceable Jira history
  • Compare inherent and residual risk
  • Drill from a matrix cell into the underlying risks

Structured, flexible, accountable

The capabilities financial institutions need from a practical risk process

Your methodology, made practical

Configure probability, impact, risk levels, colours, matrix dimensions, and terminology to reflect your organisation’s risk framework.

Inherent and residual exposure

Compare exposure before and after treatment to support clearer prioritisation and more useful conversations about control effectiveness.

Accountable risk treatment

Create treatments as linked Jira work items or sub-tasks, with ownership, status, workflow, comments, and history retained in Jira.

Controlled access

Use established Jira permissions and project controls to govern who can view, assess, administer, and update risk information.

Reporting that stays current

Use interactive registers, configurable matrices, and Jira dashboard gadgets; share live dashboard views in Confluence with Smart Links.

A faster starting point

Use Risk Foundry’s curated risk and treatment library as a structured starting point, then tailor the content to your organisation.

Security-conscious

Designed for responsible data handling

ProjectBalm is an Atlassian Gold Marketplace Partner, and Risk Register is a Cloud Fortified application participating in Atlassian’s Marketplace security programmes.

For Jira Cloud, risk and assessment details remain in the customer’s Jira environment rather than being stored in ProjectBalm’s application database.
