Risk Register for government

Clearer risk oversight for complex public missions.

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

Replace fragmented reporting with a connected process

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

One disciplined approach across many kinds of risk

Support local teams with focused registers while giving authorised leaders consolidated visibility across organisational boundaries.

Program and portfolio risk

Create focused registers for individual initiatives or consolidate relevant risks across programmes and portfolios using saved Jira filters.

Operational resilience

Track risks to critical services, capabilities, people, processes, and infrastructure, with treatment activity connected to accountable work.

Technology and cyber programmes

Manage uncertainty around modernisation, platform change, cyber improvement, and technology delivery in the same environment as the work itself.

Policy and regulatory change

Assess risks arising from new policy, legislation, standards, and assurance obligations while retaining a clear history of decisions and actions.

Suppliers and dependencies

Record third-party, procurement, and delivery-dependency risks; assign owners; and monitor the work intended to reduce exposure.

Enterprise visibility

Give authorised stakeholders a consistent view of risk across teams without maintaining parallel spreadsheets or manually assembled reports.

Accountability from assessment to action

Keep risk decisions connected to delivery

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.

  • Assign accountable owners and treatment work
  • Retain comments, status, workflow, and Jira history
  • Drill from reporting views into the underlying risks

Control without unnecessary complexity

Built for security-conscious, regulated environments

Risk Register uses Jira’s existing capabilities to help organisations establish a repeatable, governed process while keeping risk activity close to operational work.

Jira-native access control

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

Traceable decisions and actions

Use ownership, workflows, comments, linked work, and Jira history to preserve context around assessments and treatment activity.

Configurable risk models

Define probability, impact, risk levels, colours, matrix dimensions, and terminology around your organisation’s approved framework.

Inherent and residual risk

Compare exposure before and after treatment to support prioritisation, assurance conversations, and review of response effectiveness.

Current, controlled reporting

Use interactive registers, matrices, and Jira dashboard gadgets, with live dashboard views available in Confluence through Smart Links.

Flexible deployment

Choose Risk Register for Jira Cloud or Jira Data Center according to your organisation’s operational, security, and governance requirements.

Security and privacy

Responsible data handling by design

ProjectBalm is an Atlassian Gold Marketplace Partner. Risk Register is a Cloud Fortified application participating in Atlassian’s Marketplace security programmes, and ProjectBalm’s Trust Center provides current security and compliance information, including SOC 2.

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

Cloud or Data Center
