Getting started with the Risk Manager

Learn how to incorporate the Risk Manager solution into your existing workflows.

How do I install the Risk Manager?

We'll take care of installation for you. Based on the subscriptions you obtain, your Diligent representative will install all the content you need, including objects, workflows, statuses, and more. Then, you can get started creating your organization's risks and controls right away.

Depending on the unique needs of your organization, you may also require things like custom attributes to enter information into, or different steps in your workflow. Just let your Diligent representative know — we'll get you set up with everything you need.

What gets installed?

When you subscribe to the Risk Manager, you get the following.

• Objects (Risks and Controls) to add your risks and controls.
• Attributes, workflows, and statuses to help you track important information.
• Workflow robots that trigger assessments and calculate risk scores.
