2. Ownership & Responsibility – Tracks assigned personnel and departments responsible for risk mitigation.

Table Structures & Data Types

The main data structure is the Risk Register, which follows a relational model with interlinked tables to ensure consistency and traceability:

Formulas Required

The template utilizes several dynamic formulas to maintain accuracy and automate operations:

• =RAND() * 100 + 1 – For random simulation of probability (used in scenario analysis).
• =IF(AND(C2="High", D2="High"), "Critical", IF(C2="High", "Medium", "Low")) – Combines impact and probability to auto-assign risk priority.
• =TODAY() – Auto-fills the “Last Updated Date” when a row is edited.
• =IF(E2="Critical", "High Priority Alert", "") – Used in alerts sheet to flag critical risks.
• =VLOOKUP(A2, Ownership!A:B, 2, FALSE) – Links risk ID to owner from the ownership table.
• =SUMIF(B:B, "IT Infrastructure", C:C) – Aggregates total impact across categories.

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template applies smart conditional formatting to improve data visibility:

• Priority Highlighting: Cells with "Critical" or "High" priority are highlighted in red.
• Status Indicators: Open risks show orange; Resolved risks show green.
• Due Date Warnings: If a risk’s last update is over 30 days old, the row turns yellow with a warning note.
• High-Impact Flags: Any risk with impact level "High" and probability ≥70% is shaded in bold red.
