Risk Approval Process

When a risk ticket is created and sent for approval, it is transferred to the Risk Approval Queue page of the assigned Risk Owner. Only a Risk Owner can approve, reject, or request changes to a risk entry ticket through this page. Note that general users cannot be assigned as Risk Owners.

  • Approval: If a risk ticket is approved, the software generates a unique ID for the risk entry and saves it in the register.
  • Rejection or Request for Change: If a risk ticket is rejected or a change is requested, it remains in the Risk Entry page of the risk entry creator with Rejected or Requested changes status.
Risk Ticket Approval Process
Step-by-Step Guide for Risk Owners
  1. The Risk Owner must log in to their SysRisk account.



  2. Go to the desired module, either ERM or PRM.



  3. Proceed to the Risk Approval Queue page.



  4. Utilize the toggle filter to select risk categories (for the ERM module) or project names (for the PRM module) to filter the risks displayed in the table below.



  5. In the table, the Risk Owner will find three buttons: “Accept,” “Reject,” and “Request for Change.”



  6. Choose an action:

    • Accept: If the risk is accepted, the software generates a unique ID and saves it in the Risk Register page.


    • Reject: If the risk is rejected, it remains in the Risk Entry page for the creator to address.



    • Request for Change: If a change is requested, it asks for a note to the creator and goes in the Risk Entry page for the creator to address.



  7. Once saved in the Risk Register page, the risk item becomes part of all statistics. All activities related to the risk entry are tracked and recorded by the software.



Note: Even if a risk entry is rejected, it remains in the system and can be resubmitted for approval later.
