How the AI Risk Register approaches this

You select jurisdiction, industry, and risk appetite. The tool produces a register pre-populated with 12 to 18 AI risks relevant to your sector — each already scored on a 5×5 matrix with suggested mitigations.

You receive the same register in both .xlsx and .docx formats: the spreadsheet for live editing and ongoing risk-committee work, and the Word document for paper sign-off and board appendices. Add organisation-specific risks, adjust scores, assign owners, and set review cadence — the starting point is a credible draft, not a blank template.

What you get

• ✓ Arrives as a working spreadsheet — not a PDF — so it fits straight into your risk workflow.
• ✓ Each risk carries the regulatory obligation it maps to, so reviewers can trace the "why" without re-researching.
• ✓ Bias considerations drawn from published evidence relevant to your sector, surfacing failure modes that generic templates miss.
• ✓ Designed to be signed off by a qualified risk owner — the output does not replace that review, it accelerates the drafting stage.
