The challenge

Risk management should move the business forward.

The problem

A box-ticking exercise

Too many companies treat risk management as a box-ticking hassle or an isolated paperwork exercise, disconnected from strategy. It rarely shapes the decisions that drive the business, creates gaps, slows teams down and leaves vital areas exposed.

Our solution

Connected to your goals

We connect risk management directly to your business goals and the decisions that shape your strategy. So instead of being a burden, it becomes a strength, helping you move faster, protect what you’ve built and grow with confidence.

How it works

Six areas, one connected picture.

Start with what the business is trying to achieve. Then map the processes and resources it relies on, and only then look at risks. Every risk, decision and action traces back to an objective, so you always know where to focus.

OrganisationBusiness objectivesProcessesResourcesRisksDecisions and actions
  1. OrganisationWho are we, who do we serve, and where?

    What you offer and to whom, how you are organised, and the regulations you must meet.

  2. Business objectivesWhat are we trying to achieve?

    What success means, how it is measured, and the worst result you could still accept.

  3. ProcessesWhat must work to achieve it?

    The processes your objectives need, how critical each is, and how fast it must recover.

  4. ResourcesWhat do those processes rely on?

    Key people, systems and data, third parties and outsourced services, sites and licences.

  5. RisksWhat could hold us back, or move us forward?

    Threats and opportunities, rated for likelihood, impact and control effectiveness.

  6. Decisions and actionsWhat will we do about it, and by when?

    Every decision and action traces back to an objective, and shapes your strategy.

What makes it different

A decision tool, not just a register.

Made by a risk manager

Built from hands-on risk management experience and a clear view of the challenges risk professionals face every day.

Holistic view

Everything is connected: objectives, processes, resources, risks, incidents and decisions, so you always see the big picture.

Nothing goes off the radar

Anything due for review, off track or still without a response is flagged automatically, so you know where to act. Requests and reminders reach the right owner, and each person sees what is asked of them.

Your data stays with you

Your work is saved in your own environment, such as your company’s secure cloud folder. It never reaches our servers.

CEOs and executives

Foresight on what could help or hold back the strategy, and where to act first.

CROs and risk managers

One connected view of risks, controls and decisions, ready for the board.

IT and cybersecurity teams

Frequently asked questions.

What is ERMflow?

ERMflow is GRC software that starts from your business objectives to deliver real value, while helping you stay compliant. Objectives, processes, resources, risks, decisions and actions are connected in one place, instead of scattered across spreadsheets.

Does ERMflow replace our risk register?

Yes, and it goes further. Your risks sit in a connected picture with the objectives, processes and resources they affect, and with the decisions and actions that follow, instead of in a standalone spreadsheet.

Does ERMflow help with DORA?

Yes. ERMflow recognises when DORA applies to you. It helps you identify your critical or important functions, run a business impact analysis with recovery times, keep the details of your ICT third-party providers that the Register of Information asks for, and record, classify and report ICT incidents.

Is our data secure?

Yes. Your work is saved in your own environment, such as your secure company cloud folder, and never reaches our servers. ERMflow saves it automatically and keeps a daily backup. We never access your data, and we never store passwords.

We’re not a regulated company. Is ERMflow for us?

Yes. ERMflow helps any organisation reach its objectives with fewer surprises: what they depend on, what could get in the way, and what to do about it. Regulated firms, such as payment institutions, also get what their supervisory bodies expect.

Can I see it in action?

Yes. Book a demo and we’ll walk you through ERMflow on a live call: how your objectives, processes, resources and risks connect, and how that turns into clear decisions and actions. Bring your questions, or a challenge your team is facing today.
