That’s where Responsum steps in. Our integrated risk management module gives you the insight and control needed to make data-driven decisions, execute your organization’s risk strategy, and maintain GDPR compliance.

Privacy risk isn’t limited to one department. Responsum makes collaboration easy by allowing you to involve key stakeholders—both inside and outside your organization. You can assign owners, gather context, and follow up seamlessly within the platform.

Instead of relying on back-and-forth emails, every team member has the visibility and responsibility they need to act quickly.

Build a Risk Management Strategy That Fits You

Every organization has a different risk appetite. Whether you’re cautious or more tolerant of operational risks, Responsum lets you build a custom risk management strategy aligned with your business goals.

From probability and impact scoring to category-based risk definitions, you can tailor the platform to reflect your risk culture accurately.

From Risk Identification to Treatment and Reporting

Maintain a Dynamic GDPR Risk Register

Your risk management program needs more than a static list. Responsum gives you a living, searchable risk register where you can document risks, assign risk owners, and track changes over time.

This register links directly to assessments, data processing activities, and third-party vendors—giving your team full context every step of the way.

Manage Risk Treatment Plans With Precision

Identifying risks is just the start. With Responsum, you can create treatment plans that outline mitigation steps, assign responsibilities, and monitor progress through to resolution.

You’ll always know what’s been done, what’s pending, and what’s next—making your privacy risk operations more efficient and transparent.
