How integrating RiskSmart and Jira benefits your organisation

  • One or two-way Jira integration for Actions and Incidents: Create, track, and manage risk-related actions directly within Jira or RiskSmart, ensuring teams have full visibility no matter which system they work in.  

  • Easily link Operational risks to Enterprise risks: Connect individual operational risks logged in Jira to broader enterprise risk categories in RiskSmart. This gives leadership a comprehensive view of risk exposure.  

  • Track risk ratings over time: Automatically sync updates from Jira to RiskSmart so risk ratings and mitigations are always up-to-date, making risk assessments more dynamic and reflective of real-world conditions.  

  • Streamlined issue resolution: Close the loop between risk identification and mitigation by connecting Jira tickets with RiskSmart’s risk workflows. This helps you reduce response times and improves accountability.  

  • Enhance audit trails: Maintain a clear history of risk-related decisions and actions, helping your business meet regulatory requirements and improve governance.
