Risk Health

Automated health indicators for risks — Green, Yellow, Red status and resolve sidebar.

Written by James Ross

Overview

Every risk has an automated health indicator that assesses whether the risk is being properly managed. The health status is based on several conditions — rating, controls, owner, and review date.

Health Status Levels

Risk health is displayed as a colour-coded indicator:

  • Green — "Healthy" — the risk is in good standing

  • Yellow — "Needs monitoring" — there are issues that should be addressed

  • Red — "Needs attention" — there are critical gaps that require immediate action

Conditions for Green (Healthy)

A risk shows Green when all of the following are true:

  • A risk rating is set

  • All linked controls are active

  • The review date is not due soon (more than 30 days away)

Conditions for Yellow (Needs Monitoring)

A risk shows Yellow when any of the following are true:

  • No risk rating has been assigned (but controls are present and review is on time)

  • Some linked controls are inactive

  • The review date is due soon (within approximately 20–30 days)

Conditions for Red (Needs Attention)

A risk shows Red when any of the following are true:

  • The review date is overdue (in the past)

  • No controls are linked and no rating is set

Health Resolve Sidebar

Clicking the health indicator opens a sidebar that helps you resolve outstanding issues:

  • The sidebar lists each issue as a numbered step

  • Each step shows the issue title and an input field to address it

  • Fill in all required fields (e.g. owner, rating, review date)

  • Click Resolve All to save changes and close the sidebar

  • The health indicator updates to reflect the resolved state

If the risk is healthy (Green), the sidebar shows a "no outstanding items" message.

Important: Health is calculated on page load. After resolving issues, refresh the page to see the updated health indicator.
