AI Risk Register for UK

A structured AI risk register delivered in two formats — Excel (.xlsx) for live editing inside your risk-management workflow, and Word (.docx) of the same register for board sign-off. Both contain the same sector-specific AI risks, 5×5 likelihood × impact scoring, mitigations per risk, named owners, and regulatory cross-references.

UK-specific obligations covered

The output is anchored on the regulations that apply to AI deployments in UK. The top frameworks cited:

  • UK General Data Protection Regulationlegislation · In force

    Process personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently per Art. 5; establish a lawful basis under Art. 6; provide subject-rights mechanisms (access, rectification, erasure, portability, automated-decision objection); report personal data breaches to the ICO within 72 hours of awareness; conduct a Data Protection Impact Assessment for high-risk processing including automated decision-making with significant effects.

  • UK Data Protection Act 2018legislation · In force

    For law-enforcement processing: comply with Part 3 (six data-protection principles, lawful basis under s.35, automated-decision safeguards under s.49-50, breach notification). For special-category or criminal-offence data processing: meet a Schedule 1 condition (the lawful-basis requirement under UK GDPR Art. 9/10 alone is insufficient). For intelligence services: Part 4 framework. ICO has investigatory powers under Part 5 + monetary-penalty powers under Part 6 (up to £17.5m or 4% of global turnover).

  • Online Safety Act 2023legislation · In force

    In-scope services must conduct risk assessments, implement proportionate safety measures for illegal and harmful content including AI-generated material, and comply with Ofcom codes of practice on algorithmic content distribution.

  • UK Pro-Innovation AI Regulatory Framework (2023 White Paper)policy_framework · In force

    Regulated sector organisations must consider and embed five AI principles — safety and security, transparency and explainability, fairness, accountability and governance, and contestability and redress — as implemented by their sectoral regulator.

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.
