Integrated Risk Management Assessments & Audits Evidence-led assurance

Citadel: Assessment-Driven Integrated Risk Management

Citadel links control performance to operational and strategic risk, so leaders can make decisions with confidence and teams can focus on the actions that matter most.

No material risk? It doesn’t appear in the register.

Risk that reflects reality

Citadel provides a clear and reliable view of risk by linking it directly to real control performance. Using structured assessments and evidence gathered through operational activity, risk remains current as conditions and control effectiveness change.

This enables a bottom-up view of risk — from controls, through operational risk, to strategic risk — while maintaining a consistent picture across the organisation.

How Citadel works

Controls
Assessed with evidence
Risk
Derived from outcomes
Board view
Trends & priorities
  • One control can support many risks — changes update every linked risk.
  • Risk stays current as assessments and evidence change.
  • Operational outcomes roll up into strategic risk in a consistent way.
