Risk governance across the entire enterprise
Seven integrated capabilities from risk identification through monitoring to board reporting — with real-time feeds from every compliance module in AERA.
Risk universe

COSO ERM risk taxonomy and categorization

Build your risk universe following the COSO 2017 Enterprise Risk Management framework. Categorize risks across strategic, compliance, operational, financial, and reputational dimensions. Each risk gets inherent scoring, control assessment, and residual rating — driving prioritization and resource allocation.

  • COSO ERM aligned risk categories with custom sub-categories
  • 5×5 inherent scoring (likelihood × severity) with configurable scales
  • Control effectiveness assessment reducing inherent to residual
  • Risk ownership assignment with accountability chain
Risk universe — 87 risks by category 24 Compliance SOX 8 · GDPR 7 · 231 5 · ESRS 4 6 critical · 10 high · 8 medium 22 Operational Supply chain 6 · IT 5 · Process 5 · Safety 6 2 critical · 8 high · 12 medium 16 Strategic 3 critical · 5 high 14 Financial 1 critical · 4 high 11 Reputational 2 high · 9 medium 14 critical/high risks require immediate mitigation · 3 above risk appetite threshold
GRC integration

Real-time risk feed from every compliance module

Risks don't live in silos. AERA's risk register automatically ingests findings from SOX (control deficiencies), GDPR (DPIA high risks, breaches), Modello 231 (OdV findings), and ESRS (double materiality flags). Each source risk links to its origin module for full traceability.

  • Automatic risk creation from SOX deficiency findings
  • GDPR DPIA high-risk flags elevated to risk register
  • Modello 231 OdV audit findings cross-linked
  • ESRS double materiality risks integrated

Incidents

Operational incident tracking and loss events

When risks materialize, AERA captures the incident — root cause, financial impact, affected processes, corrective actions. Near-misses are tracked separately to build predictive intelligence. Every incident links back to the risk it relates to, building historical evidence for risk reassessment.

  • Structured incident form: detection, classification, impact, root cause
  • Near-miss registry for leading indicator analysis
  • Financial impact quantification (direct loss, recovery, insurance)
  • Link to source risk for automatic residual risk recalculation
Incident log — FY 2026 + Incident Critical 2 Major 6 Minor 15 Near-miss 8 Critical INC-031 — Production line shutdown Root cause: PLC firmware failure · Duration: 14 hours Impact: € 420K lost production · Risk: OPS-R-007 Closed Major INC-028 — Unauthorized vendor payment Root cause: Segregation of duties bypass · BEC attack vector Impact: € 85K recovered via insurance · Risk: FIN-R-003 Review Near-miss NM-014 — Forklift near-collision in warehouse No injury or damage · Contributing factor: blind corner, no mirror Corrective action: Convex mirrors installed at all intersections · Risk: OPS-R-012
Key risk indicators

KRI monitoring with trend analysis and thresholds

Define key risk indicators for your most important risks — then monitor them in real time. Each KRI has a green/amber/red threshold, a trend sparkline showing 12-month history, and an automatic alert when thresholds are breached. Early warning before risks materialize.

  • Configurable KRIs per risk with custom thresholds
  • 12-month trend sparklines with directional indicators
  • Automatic threshold breach alerts to risk owners
  • Correlation analysis between KRIs and actual incidents
Key risk indicators — Q4 2026 Days sales outstanding Risk: FIN-R-002 · Credit risk 52 days Amber zone 60d Cyber incidents / month Risk: IT-R-001 · Cybersecurity 7 Above threshold! 5 Employee turnover rate Risk: HR-R-004 · Key person 8.2% Green zone Top supplier concentration Risk: OPS-R-009 · Supply chain 34% Amber zone Pending regulatory changes Risk: COM-R-001 · Regulatory 4 impact assessments pending Insurance coverage ratio Risk: FIN-R-006 · Uninsured loss 92% Green zone
Mitigation

Risk mitigation action plans with progress tracking

Every high and critical risk gets a mitigation action plan — specific actions, owners, deadlines, and expected residual risk after implementation. Track progress through a kanban pipeline and measure whether actions actually reduced the risk exposure.

  • Action plans linked to specific risks with expected impact
  • Owner assignment with deadline and progress tracking
  • Kanban workflow: planned → in progress → review → completed
  • Post-implementation residual risk re-assessment
Mitigation progress — Critical & high risks STR-R-001 — Market share erosion in DACH Critical 3 actions · Owner: CEO 40% Due: Jun 30 IT-R-001 — Ransomware attack exposure Critical 5 actions · Owner: CISO 75% Due: Apr 15 COM-R-005 — SOX revenue cutoff control gap High 2 actions · Owner: CFO 60% Due: May 31 OPS-R-007 — Single point of failure in production High 4 actions · Owner: COO 100% Verified 142 total actions · 126 on track (89%) · 12 delayed · 4 overdue
Risk appetite

Risk appetite framework with tolerance bands

Define your organization's risk appetite by category — how much risk are you willing to accept to achieve objectives? Set tolerance bands (green/amber/red) and monitor actual risk exposure against appetite in real time. Board approval workflow for appetite changes.

  • Appetite statements per risk category with quantitative thresholds
  • Green/amber/red tolerance bands with automatic monitoring
  • Board approval workflow for appetite changes
  • Appetite vs exposure trend comparison over time
Risk appetite framework — Board approved Dec 2025 Strategic risk Appetite: Moderate · Tolerance: 12 points max 14 Appetite: 12 Over appetite Escalated to board Compliance risk Appetite: Low · Tolerance: 8 points max 6 Appetite: 8 Within Operational risk Appetite: Moderate · Tolerance: 15 points max 13 Appetite: 15 Within but approaching Financial risk Appetite: Low · Tolerance: 6 points max 3 Appetite: 6 Within
Board reporting

Board-ready risk reporting with movement analysis

Generate quarterly risk reports for the board and audit committee. Risk movement analysis (new risks, escalated, de-escalated, closed), top risk profile, appetite compliance status, incident summary, and KRI dashboard — all in one exportable package.

  • Quarterly risk movement waterfall (new/escalated/closed)
  • Top 10 risks dashboard with trend arrows
  • Appetite compliance summary across all categories
  • Export to PDF and PowerPoint for board presentation
Risk profile movement — Q3 → Q4 2026 Export PDF 0 25 50 75 78 Q3 close +12 New +5 Escalated -3 De-escalated -5 Closed 87 Q4 close Net change: +9 risks (+11.5%) 1 category over appetite (Strategic) · 14 critical/high · 8 open incidents · Board review scheduled: Jan 15, 2027
