Available at: SharePoint Microsoft Teams Microsoft Azure ![Risk Management Solutions](https://www.virtosoftware.com/images/use-cases/enterprise-risk-management-hero.webp) Trusted by Industry Leaders Warner Bros. Disney Sony UC Berkeley Motorola Teck Resources US Treasury University of Pittsburgh NASA Stockholms Stad FedEx Zespri and over 8,000 businesses worldwide ## Comprehensive Enterprise Risk Management Platform Microsoft 365 apps that put risk review dates on one calendar, mitigation actions on a board and reminders in owners' inboxes. Risk scoring and board reporting stay in your risk system. ### Proactive risk management & mitigation #### Mitigation board Track mitigation actions across departments on Virto Kanban boards built on your SharePoint risk list, with a column for each stage, swimlanes by department and drag-and-drop between them. #### Consistent assessment stages Give every team the same columns and swimlanes for its risk assessments, so a risk moves through the same stages in every department. ![Proactive risk management & mitigation](https://www.virtosoftware.com/images/use-cases/enterprise-risk-management/proactive-risk-management-mitigation.webp) ### Seamless cross-team collaboration #### Integrated risk calendar See risk reviews, assessments and deadlines from your SharePoint risk register in Virto Calendar App, next to department calendars, so your team stays aligned on what is due. #### Risk documents in SharePoint Keep risk documents in SharePoint libraries with SharePoint's own permissions and version history. SharePoint's audit log, not a Virto app, records who changed what. ![Seamless cross-team collaboration](https://www.virtosoftware.com/images/use-cases/enterprise-risk-management/seamless-cross-team-collaboration.webp) ### Timely reminders and a shared timeline #### Reminders and change alerts Virto Alerts & Reminder App emails owners before assessment and mitigation dates in the risk register, and alerts the risk team by email or in Microsoft Teams when an entry is added or changed, for example only when its rating is set to High. #### Integrated timeline management See the assessment schedules and deadlines of all teams in Virto Calendar App, from a week up to a whole year, so review cycles that pile up in the same month show early. ![Timely reminders and a shared timeline](https://www.virtosoftware.com/images/use-cases/enterprise-risk-management/real-time-risk-intelligence.webp) ## Key benefits ### One calendar for risk dates Overlay your SharePoint risk register with Outlook calendars and iCal feeds, colour-coded by risk category, and see review and mitigation dates across departments in one view. ### Reminders and alerts on the risk register Virto Alerts & Reminder App emails owners before review dates and alerts department contacts when a risk entry is added, changed or deleted, with filters on the fields that matter. The history of each entry stays in SharePoint's version history and audit log. ### Visual risk management workflow Track mitigation progress, assign ownership and see resolution status on a Kanban board, with swimlanes by department and charts by status and assignee. ### Cross-departmental risk calendar Coordinate risk assessments and mitigation activities across teams with our risk management platform. Overlay multiple department calendars, color-code risk categories, and see where assessments overlap before they collide. ### Risk records stay in SharePoint The risk register and its documents stay in SharePoint, with SharePoint's version history and permissions. Virto apps show and remind; they add no documentation workflow of their own. ### Native Microsoft 365 risk management Manage enterprise risks directly within your Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Add the risk calendar to a Teams channel, keep documents in SharePoint and send reminders by email and Teams, while the content stays in your Microsoft 365 tenant. ## The right tool for each part of risk management | Real-life scenario | Best fit | Why it works | | --- | --- | --- | | Risk reviews and mitigation deadlines in one calendar — The risk register is a SharePoint list with a review date and an owner for each risk. | Virto Calendar App M365 | Review dates from the register are drawn next to department calendars and audit dates, so a review cycle does not collide with year-end or an audit. | | Mitigation actions through their stages | Virto Kanban Board App | Each action is a card with an owner and a due date, in swimlanes by department or risk category, and the Status and Assigned to charts show where actions are stuck. | | Reminding owners before a review | Virto Alerts & Reminder App | Virto Alerts & Reminder App emails the risk owner a set number of days before the review date, and alerts the risk team when an entry in the register changes. | | Risk scoring, heat maps and board reporting | A GRC or enterprise risk management system | Virto apps show when reviews are due and how mitigation is moving. Scoring, heat maps, risk appetite and board reporting stay in the risk system that owns them. | ## Related products Explore how our set of productivity tools can transform your task management - [Virto Kanban Board Web Part](https://www.virtosoftware.com/sharepoint/kanban-board-web-part/): Streamline task management: Visualize projects with color-coded boards for efficient workflow tracking. - [Virto Calendar Web Part](https://www.virtosoftware.com/sharepoint/sp-calendar-web-part/): Merge events from multiple sources like Exchange, Google, and SQL into unified calendar view. - [Virto Calendar App M365](https://www.virtosoftware.com/microsoft-365/virto-calendar-overlay-app/): Consolidate events from SharePoint, Exchange, Google, and more into one calendar view for simplified planning. - [Virto Kanban Board App](https://www.virtosoftware.com/microsoft-teams/virto-kanban-board-app/): Boost team productivity with Virto Kanban for Teams: a seamless, efficient task & project management tool. - [Virto Kanban Board App](https://www.virtosoftware.com/microsoft-365/virto-kanban-board-app/): This tool transforms team collaboration through visual task management for consistent stage-by-stage progress. - [Virto Alerts & Reminder App](https://www.virtosoftware.com/microsoft-365/virto-alerts-and-reminders-app/): Integrated within your daily tools like Microsoft Teams, the app ensures you stay ahead of all tasks and meetings. - [Virto Notifications & Reminders App](https://www.virtosoftware.com/microsoft-teams/virto-notifications-reminders-app/): Elevate Microsoft Teams with an app for direct notifications and reminders, ensuring team alignment. - [Virto Notifications & Alerts Web Part](https://www.virtosoftware.com/sharepoint/sharepoint-alerts-and-reminders-web-part/): Craft alerts, reminders, or notifications for any user or group, with options for email, SMS, etc. ## Integrations Connect to the tools your teams use the most so everyone works seamlessly in one place.
