Nothing falls through the cracks.
Risk event alerts
Instant notifications when a risk is created, when its severity level changes, when it's assigned to a new owner, and when its status moves through the lifecycle. Every significant change surfaces immediately.
Assignment notifications
When a risk or audit control is assigned to a team member, they're notified immediately with context — what was assigned, who assigned it, and the target resolution date. No chasing, no missed handoffs.
Overdue remediation digest
A daily cron job runs at 9 AM every morning. Any remediation task past its due date is included in a digest to the task owner and the org admin. Overdue items don't quietly age in a backlog.
Compliance reminders
Daily 9 AM cron-based reminders for upcoming control review dates, audit deadlines, and policy review cycles. Your compliance calendar, automated — so nothing slips between cycles.
Auditor comment alerts
When an external auditor leaves a comment on evidence or a control via the Auditor Portal, the relevant internal team member is notified immediately — so you can respond before the audit stalls.
Manual reminder buttons
Need to send an ad-hoc nudge? Every risk and audit has a manual reminder button. One click sends a notification to the assigned owner — useful for chasing a specific remediation task without leaving the platform.
How it works
Instant. Scheduled. On demand.
Events trigger automatically
Every significant action in the platform — risk created, control assigned, finding added, evidence uploaded — fires an alert to the relevant person. There's nothing to configure. The notification logic is built into every workflow.
Cron jobs catch the rest
Some risks don't announce themselves — they just quietly go overdue. The daily 9 AM digest catches everything that slipped: overdue remediation tasks, approaching review dates, and upcoming audit deadlines. Delivered before the working day starts.
Manual nudges when you need them
For the moments where you need a direct nudge rather than a system event, every risk and audit has a manual reminder button. One click, one notification to the owner. No need to send an email outside the platform.
The problem with manual compliance tracking
Risks go overdue in spreadsheets. Not in RiskGuard.
In a spreadsheet-based compliance process, an overdue remediation task only gets noticed when someone manually reviews the tracker — which typically happens the week before an audit, not the week it went overdue. By then it's too late to fix it cleanly.
RiskGuard's daily cron digest catches overdue items on day one — before they become findings. Before your auditor finds them first.
