The problem it solves

Tracking who owns which compliance risk, when it's due, and whether it's overdue is a lot to manage by hand, especially across multiple clients or departments. Missed escalations and inconsistent assignment create real audit risk when regulators come asking for evidence.

Who it fits

Built for compliance teams, GRC consultants, and internal auditors who need a traceable, consistent risk treatment process.

How it works

  1. The process runs on a schedule or is started manually
  2. It reads your risk register from Google Sheets
  3. Each risk is assigned an owner and due date based on its severity
  4. The assignment is logged to a tracking sheet
  5. Overdue or critical risks are escalated automatically
What you get

Compliance risks assigned and tracked

You get every compliance risk automatically assigned an owner, a due date, and an escalation path when it's overdue.

What you get

A logged, traceable set of assigned risk tasks with automatic escalation for anything overdue.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, and optionally Gmail for escalation notifications.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
