Cybersecurity Risk Register Template

Free Resource

A structured, working risk register your team can actually use — free, no strings attached.

What's inside this template

Most organizations either don't have a risk register or have one that hasn't been touched since the last audit. Neither is acceptable when an auditor, a board member, or a cyber insurance underwriter asks to see it. This template gives you a complete, working risk register with everything you need to identify risks, track remediation, and demonstrate an active security program.

Risk Level auto-calculated from Likelihood x Impact — no manual scoring

Five sample risks pre-loaded showing what good entries look like

Risk Scoring Guide with full definitions for all Likelihood and Impact levels

Separate tab for Closed and Accepted risks — keeps your active register clean

Monthly Review Log to document ongoing program operation for auditors

Live Scoring Summary showing risk counts by level, status, and category

Delivered as an Excel workbook. Includes 113 live formulas that update automatically as you add and manage risks. Add your logo and you are ready to present to leadership.
