Program and portfolio risk
Create focused registers for individual initiatives or consolidate relevant risks across programmes and portfolios using saved Jira filters.
Risk Register for government
Connect programme, operational, technology, supplier, policy, and enterprise risk to the Jira work your teams already manage—with security, control, and traceability kept firmly in view.

Risk information people can act on
Government organisations manage critical services, complex programmes, evolving obligations, sensitive operating environments, and extensive delivery dependencies. Risk information must be current, appropriately controlled, and clear enough to support timely decisions.
Risk Register brings structured risk management into Jira. Teams can identify, assess, treat, monitor, and report on risks alongside the programmes, changes, incidents, and response actions that influence exposure.
The application supports established risk practices without imposing a proprietary methodology. Your risk and assurance professionals retain control of the framework, terminology, scales, permissions, and governance process.
Designed for varied public-sector contexts
Support local teams with focused registers while giving authorised leaders consolidated visibility across organisational boundaries.
Create focused registers for individual initiatives or consolidate relevant risks across programmes and portfolios using saved Jira filters.
Track risks to critical services, capabilities, people, processes, and infrastructure, with treatment activity connected to accountable work.
Manage uncertainty around modernisation, platform change, cyber improvement, and technology delivery in the same environment as the work itself.
Assess risks arising from new policy, legislation, standards, and assurance obligations while retaining a clear history of decisions and actions.
Record third-party, procurement, and delivery-dependency risks; assign owners; and monitor the work intended to reduce exposure.
Give authorised stakeholders a consistent view of risk across teams without maintaining parallel spreadsheets or manually assembled reports.
Accountability from assessment to action
Record assessments in a consistent register, create treatments as linked Jira work, and follow responsibility and progress using familiar workflows. The result is a clearer line between identified exposure and the action being taken.

Control without unnecessary complexity
Risk Register uses Jira’s existing capabilities to help organisations establish a repeatable, governed process while keeping risk activity close to operational work.
Use established Jira permissions and project controls to govern who can view, assess, administer, and update risk information.
Use ownership, workflows, comments, linked work, and Jira history to preserve context around assessments and treatment activity.
Define probability, impact, risk levels, colours, matrix dimensions, and terminology around your organisation’s approved framework.
Compare exposure before and after treatment to support prioritisation, assurance conversations, and review of response effectiveness.
Use interactive registers, matrices, and Jira dashboard gadgets, with live dashboard views available in Confluence through Smart Links.
Choose Risk Register for Jira Cloud or Jira Data Center according to your organisation’s operational, security, and governance requirements.
