Risk registers shouldn't live in tools disconnected from the strategy they're meant to protect. Cascade keeps enterprise risk management current, connected to strategy, and ready for the board.
What if the risk register reflected what's happening right now, not last quarter? Cascade is risk management built for how risk teams actually work.
Risk & Strategy, Together
When the board asks what's putting the strategy at risk, the answer is in one view. Risk stops living in a separate register no one reads.
Register That Reflects Reality
Risk owners stay current without chasing updates. AI captures context from meetings, emails, and project work they're already doing.
Audit-Ready by Design
Stand behind your register in front of auditors and the risk committee with every change tracked and every score defensible.
Risk the Board Understands
Replace slide decks with a live view. Heatmaps, executive summaries, and AI queries that turn risk into a board-level conversation.
Risk Register
Run a register that holds up to scrutiny
Configure your risk model across strategic, financial, operational, compliance, reputational, environmental, and cyber categories, with full ISO 31000 alignment built in.
Score every risk consistently on calibrated 1–10 likelihood and consequence scales, with risk rating, velocity, financial exposure, and tolerance bands.
Attach risks to the strategy they threaten by linking them directly to the objectives, initiatives, projects, and KPIs they affect, across enterprise and initiative levels.
Track mitigations and corrective actions against every risk, with owners, due dates, and progress, all visible alongside the risk they're managing.
AI Risk Updates
Keep the register live between reviews
Capture risk context from where work happens by letting AI gather updates from meetings, emails, and project tools.
AI writes your teams’ updates drawn from the conversations, emails, and files the risk owner already has access to.
Set review cadences for every risk and let the system prompt owners in MS Teams with the right questions, on the right schedule, without anyone logging into another tool.
Track changes over time with a full audit trail of every score change, status update, and ownership shift.
Risk Reporting
Turn the register into a board-level conversation
Generate AI executive summaries of risks over any time horizon, drawing on both quantitative scores and qualitative context.
Visualize risk against strategy with scatter plots and heatmaps that surface where executive attention is needed.
Query the register in natural language to interrogate themes or drill into specific threats with AI-generated answers.
Deliver board-ready risk reports with executive summaries, velocity views, and mitigation performance, exportable as PDF, slides, or live presentations.
Cascade Advanced Integrations
Risk data flowing across your stack
Risk owners contribute from Microsoft Teams and Outlook, financial exposure flows from your finance systems, and KRIs come from your BI tools. The register stays current, and the committee sees it live.
Cascade is where risk and strategy finally work together, driving decisions that shape the business.
One strategy. One platform. One source of truth.

FAQs
Questions? We have answers.
How is Cascade different from a dedicated risk management platform?
Dedicated platforms specialize in operational and IT risk depth — controls libraries, regulation mapping, audit workflows. Cascade is the layer that connects risk to the strategy it protects, giving leadership a live view of how risks affect the business. Most customers use Cascade for enterprise and strategic risk, complementing existing operational risk tools where they need that depth.
How does Cascade align with ISO 31000?
Cascade is built around the ISO 31000:2018 risk management process: establishing context, identification, analysis, evaluation, treatment, monitoring, and recording. The risk model, scoring framework, and reporting structure support full alignment, and the platform is fully configurable to match your existing risk framework if it differs.
How quickly can a risk function get running on Cascade?
Most risk teams have their first version of the register live in Cascade within 2–4 weeks. Configuring the full risk framework, calibrated scoring, and reporting cadences typically takes 4–6 weeks with implementation support.
Is our risk data secure and compliant?
Yes. Cascade is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant, with AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit. SSO, role-based access, and full audit logs come standard. Your data is isolated and never used to train public AI models. Data residency is available in US, EU, and AU.
