A good place to start managing your organization's risks is to identify processes, areas of work, or tasks carried out on a recurring base.
With our process module, you will be able to register the process, assign the type and category it has, describe in detail what it consists of, associate it with risks and designate the person responsible for the process.
We explain how to register your processes in Pirani 👀.
How to create a process?
In the Pirani sidebar, you will find the "Processes" section, you will see the "Create process" button, and when you click on it, you will see a dashboard to create the process.

How to register general information?
In the pop-up window, you will find 3 mandatory fields that you must fill in on this board:
Name: this will allow you to identify it in the future easily.
Type: you can qualify it as strategic, mission, or support.
Category: Select if it is a macro, process, or sub-process.
If the category is a process or sub-process, this field will appear:
Dependency: you must indicate which "Macro-process" or "Process" it corresponds to. Automatically, all the risks and controls associated with that process or sub-process will be associated with the processes and macro-processes on which they depend.
In addition to these fields, you can add a description to understand better the risk being created.
