Step 3: Create Your First Risk Register
A risk register is a structured document that tracks all identified risks. Dimeri makes it easy to create and manage multiple registers.
Creating a Register
Navigate to Risk Registers
From your dashboard, click "Risk Registers" in the left navigation menu, then click "Create New Register."
Name Your Register
Give your register a descriptive name, such as "IT Department Risks," "Project Alpha," or "Enterprise Risk Register."
Select a Template (Optional)
Choose from pre-built templates for common risk types, or start with a blank register. Templates include suggested categories and example risks.
Configure Settings
Set your risk scoring scale (typically 1-5 or 1-10), define impact categories, and configure any custom fields you need.
Multiple Registers
You can create multiple risk registers for different purposes - departmental risks, project risks, compliance risks, etc. Each register operates independently but can be consolidated for reporting.
Step 4: Add Your First Risk
Now comes the exciting part - adding your first risk and seeing AI in action!
Adding a Risk
Click "Add Risk"
From within your risk register, click the "Add Risk" button to open the risk entry form.
Enter a Risk Description
Describe your risk in plain language. Be specific about what could go wrong and what the consequences might be.
Let AI Analyze
Click "Analyze with AI" and watch as Dimeri suggests a likelihood score, impact score, risk category, and relevant controls.
Review and Save
Review the AI suggestions, make any adjustments, and save the risk to your register.
Example Risk Entry
Description: "If our primary cloud provider experiences a service outage, we could face up to 48 hours of downtime affecting all customer-facing applications, resulting in lost revenue and customer complaints."
AI Suggestions:
- Category: Technology / Infrastructure
- Likelihood: 3 (Possible)
- Impact: 4 (Major)
- Risk Score: 12 (High)
- Suggested Controls: Disaster recovery plan, Multi-cloud strategy, SLA monitoring
Step 5: Use AI Features
Dimeri's AI capabilities extend beyond initial scoring. Here's how to get the most from AI features:
AI Risk Scoring
As you enter risk descriptions, AI analyzes:
- Severity indicators in your language
- Similar risks from our database
- Industry-specific benchmarks
- Your organization's historical patterns
AI Control Suggestions
Based on your risk description, AI recommends:
- Preventive controls to reduce likelihood
- Detective controls to identify issues quickly
- Corrective controls to minimize impact
- Controls that similar organizations have implemented
AI Risk Enhancement
If your risk description is brief, AI can:
- Suggest a more complete risk statement
- Identify missing elements (cause, event, consequence)
- Recommend additional risk factors to consider
Writing Better Risk Descriptions
The more detail you provide, the better AI suggestions will be. Include the cause (why might this happen), the event (what would occur), and the consequence (what's the impact).
Step 6: Generate Your First Report
Once you have a few risks in your register, you can generate professional reports to share with stakeholders.
Creating a Report
Navigate to Reports
Click "Reports" in the left navigation, then "Create New Report."
Select Report Type
Choose from options like Executive Summary, Risk Heat Map, Detailed Risk List, or Trend Analysis.
Configure Parameters
Select which risk registers to include, date ranges, risk categories, and any filters.
Generate with AI
Click "Generate Report" and AI will create a professional document with insights, visualizations, and recommendations.
Report Features
- Executive summaries: AI-generated narrative explaining key risks
- Risk heat maps: Visual representation of likelihood vs. impact
- Trend analysis: How risks have changed over time
- Action items: Prioritized list of recommended actions
- Export options: PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, or share via link
