Clarity Risk Management
A live risk register in the Clarity Managed Platform, with consistent assessment, treatment tracking, ownership, and reporting to manage cyber and information security risk over time.
- A live risk register
- Consistent risk assessment
- Treatment and action tracking
- Risk connected to controls
- Better management visibility
Most organisations already have a risk register. The problem is that it is often updated infrequently, scored inconsistently, and disconnected from the controls, incidents, suppliers, and actions that actually change the risk picture.
Clarity Risk Management is designed to make risk a working management process, not a periodic documentation exercise. It gives you a structured environment to identify, assess, prioritise, and monitor risks; assign ownership; track treatment activity; and keep the current position visible.
Clarity works with your existing risk methodology, or we help you establish a more consistent one. You can run the process with your own team, use Blackfoot for setup and occasional guidance, or add ongoing consultant-led oversight where you want more challenge and support.
Risk ownership still stays with you. The value is in making sure the process is clear, current, and useful enough to support real decisions.

How it works
- 01
Agree the risk model
We start with how you want to identify, score, own, and review risk. Where you already have a methodology, we configure Clarity around it rather than forcing a replacement.
- 02
Configure the risk environment
We establish the risk register, scoring approach, ownership, treatment structure, and relevant controls or supporting context.
- 03
Bring risks into the platform
Existing risks are structured within Clarity, or new risks identified and assessed as the process develops.
- 04
Assess and treat
Risks are assessed using the agreed methodology, treatment decisions are recorded, and actions are assigned to the people responsible for progressing them.
- 05
Review and report
Dashboards and recurring reviews help keep the current risk position, treatment activity, and priority decisions visible.
- 06
Keep the process active
Your team can run the process directly, or Blackfoot can provide ongoing review, challenge, and support to help prevent the register from becoming passive again.
More than a risk register
A useful risk register should tell you more than what somebody thought the score was six months ago.
Within Clarity, risks can be linked to treatment plans, actions, controls, and other relevant context such as assessments, incidents, suppliers, and assets. That makes it easier to understand why a risk exists, what is being done about it, and whether the underlying position is changing.
It also helps separate the risk itself from the work being done to reduce it. Owners can see what decisions are outstanding, treatment activity can be tracked through to completion, and management reporting can focus on current exposure and priority action rather than simply reproducing the register.
Keep risk current as the organisation changes
Risk changes when the business changes. New systems, suppliers, incidents, control weaknesses, or completed treatment actions can all alter the position.
Clarity provides the structure for recurring review rather than relying on an annual workshop or manual reminder. Risks, treatments, and actions can be revisited as circumstances change, with ownership and progress kept visible between review points.
Where you want more than the platform alone, our consultants support regular risk reviews, challenge assumptions and treatment plans, and help keep the process moving. That support is there to improve oversight and decision-making, not to take risk ownership away from your organisation.
What you get
A live risk register
Maintain cyber and information security risks in one structured place, with clear ownership, status, and supporting context.
Consistent risk assessment
Use an agreed scoring approach so risks are assessed and prioritised on a more consistent basis.
Treatment and action tracking
Link risks to treatment plans, assign responsibilities, and track the actions needed to reduce exposure.
Risk connected to controls
Link risks and treatments to relevant controls so the register better reflects the security activity beneath it.
Better management visibility
Dashboards and reporting make it easier to see current exposure, treatment progress, and the risks that need attention.
Expert support when needed
Use the platform with your own team or add Blackfoot support for methodology, recurring reviews, challenge, and programme oversight.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to what prospective clients ask us most.
Is this the same as a cyber risk assessment?
No. A cyber risk assessment is typically a defined consultancy engagement that establishes or assesses risk at a point in time. Clarity Risk Management is the operating environment used to maintain, review, and act on risk over time.
The two can work together. If we deliver a cyber risk assessment alongside Clarity, the resulting risks, treatments, and supporting information can be loaded directly into the platform, giving you a much stronger starting point for ongoing management.
Can we use our existing risk methodology?
Yes. We configure the Clarity Managed Platform around your existing risk approach, including your scoring model, ownership, and treatment process. If the methodology needs improvement, we can help refine it as a separate piece of work.
Can risks be linked to controls and other GRC activity?
Yes. Risks can be connected to relevant controls, treatment activities, and supporting context such as assessments, incidents, suppliers, and assets where useful. That helps make the register more meaningful than a standalone list of scores.
Do you manage our risks for us?
We help run the process, but your organisation retains ownership of risk and acceptance decisions. Depending on the support you choose, we facilitate reviews, challenge scoring and treatment plans, track progress, and keep the programme active.
What happens when a treatment action is completed?
The risk should be reassessed rather than simply marked as finished. Completing an action may reduce likelihood or impact, but the updated position still needs to be considered and the residual risk accepted, treated further, or kept under review.
Can we start with the platform and add more support later?
Yes. You can use Clarity with your own team and add Blackfoot input where needed, from occasional methodology or risk-review support through to recurring programme oversight.
Do we actually need a GRC platform?
For most organisations, GRC pressure is growing faster than the team managing it. Risk, compliance, and supplier activity increase, responsibilities spread across more people, and lean teams are expected to do more with the same capacity.
Clarity gives you a structured way to manage risks, actions, owners, review cycles, and reporting, reducing reliance on manual chasing, disconnected trackers, and individual knowledge.
If your risk process is genuinely small and easy to coordinate, you may not need a platform yet. Once the workload outgrows how you manage it, the case becomes much stronger.
