1. Unified risk register
Bring together description, source, context, category, owner, causes, consequences, controls, evidence, and links to events, changes, and audits.
Risk Management — Roadmap
RoadmapMake risks visible and actionable before they become events
QSigma360 is working toward a unified enterprise risk register that connects each risk to its context, owner, controls, treatment actions, and review dates. The vision helps organizations move beyond isolated spreadsheets and unexplained scores toward assessments whose logic can be understood, tracked over time, and connected to accountable work.
Risk elements exist today within HACCP, Change Control, selected quality records, and Supplier Quality. A unified enterprise register, standardized matrices, and full risk dashboards are not complete as an independent module and remain on the roadmap.
Roadmap concept
A score without context cannot support a sound decision
A red cell or high number does not explain priority. Teams need the assessment factors, matrix version, controls, acceptance authority, and residual exposure. The future QSigma360 experience will make this chain visible so treatment, escalation, and review follow an approved method.
Target capabilities
2. Configurable assessment methods
Define severity, likelihood, detectability, or a qualitative method, with visible formulas, interpretations, and acceptance ranges.
3. Inherent and residual risk
Distinguish exposure before and after controls while retaining the matrix version so historical assessments do not silently change.
4. Trackable treatment plans
Link actions, owners, dates, resources, evidence, and verification methods, then reassess residual risk.
5. Governed review, escalation, and acceptance
Trigger reviews by level or event, escalate risks above limits, and require policy-defined authority for acceptance.
6. Risk maps and trends
Show top and overdue risks, category distribution, movement from inherent to residual risk, and control effectiveness after validation.
Target workflow
- 1Identify the risk: Capture context, causes, consequences, and affected processes or parties.
- 2Assess inherent exposure: Apply the approved method and show both calculation and interpretation.
- 3Review current controls: Record existing controls, evidence, and identified gaps.
- 4Plan treatment: Assign actions, owners, due dates, resources, and a verification method.
- 5Reassess: Determine residual exposure after implementation and review control adequacy.
- 6Accept, escalate, and monitor: Apply the correct authority level and set the next review.
Enterprise integration without confusing contexts
The target module is designed to connect with HACCP, Supplier Quality, NCR, CAPA, Audits, Change Control, Documents, and Reports. A hazard assessment inside HACCP is not automatically the same as an enterprise risk record; each context retains its approved method and permissions. AI may suggest risks, factors, or treatments for review, but it cannot approve a score, accept a risk, or implement a treatment automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Is the standalone Risk Management module available now?
No. Risk capabilities exist inside current modules, but the unified enterprise register, matrices, and complete dashboards remain on the roadmap.
Will organizations be able to use their own matrix?
The vision supports configurable, versioned, and approved methods with visible factors and interpretations rather than a number without explanation.
What is the difference between inherent and residual risk?
Inherent risk represents exposure before controls; residual risk represents exposure after those controls. Comparing them shows treatment impact and supports acceptance or escalation.
Can AI accept a risk?
No. AI can produce reviewable suggestions only. Assessment, acceptance, and escalation remain the responsibility of authorized people.
