### Risk Register Template

A risk register is a repository or central record of current risks facing an organization and related information such as a description of the risk, the impact if the risk should occur, the probability of its occurrence, mitigation strategies, risk owners, and a ranking in order to help prioritize mitigation efforts. Use this template for guidance and useful information for completing and using a risk register and integrating it with your overall risk management strategy.

What you'll get:

- Identify the risks that are the most likely to occur or to have the biggest impact if they occur
- Prioritize mitigation efforts for the highest-priority risks
- Strategize how risk managers and other employees should mitigate those risks
