Adding a New Hazard
Step 1: Start a New Hazard
Click the Add New Hazard button (purple button).
Enter a title and description for the hazard
Use the AI hazard and harm suggestions to help brainstorm if needed.
Step 2: Add Causes
Enter the cause of the hazard
Options for causes:
Add new cause manually.
Link (+) to an existing cause from the cause bank, which will bring associated controls and evidence.
Top tip: you can copy (LHS icon highlighted above) or link (+, RHS icon) causes and controls from your bank.
Copy - copy the text of cause or control
Link - link the cause with all of its mapped controls and associated evidence
Changing a linked cause or control in one place changes it everywhere (including if you update the evidence attached in one place)
Deleting a lined cause or control deletes it everywhere!
Step 3: Add Controls
Add existing controls or create new ones.
Configure control details:
Control type (customisable, e.g., design, process, training, testing etc.)
Responsibilities (assign owners or teams)
Control status (customisable, e.g., Awaiting Evidence)
Controls linked to a cause automatically update across the platform if edited.
Add multiple controls as needed (example: phone number validation, training).
Step 4: Risk Assessment
Set the Initial Risk using severity and likelihood.
Click the information buttons for definitions if unsure.
Add any additional controls to reduce risk.
Enter Residual Risk after controls are applied.
Add a Justification for risk scoring (this is compulsory for a residual risk of 3 or more)
Step 5: Add Evidence
Evidence added to a control (e.g., staff training logs, screenshots) is linked wherever the control appears.
Step 6: Set Hazard Status
Choose a Hazard Status (e.g., Draft, Awaiting Review). Statuses are fully customisable for your needs
