Ask HN: Does your startup have a risk register?
If not, why not?
If yes, what is it like?
- baxtr 4y agoWhat constitutes a risk registry, in your opinion?

- psym 4y agoDepended on the stage for us. Initially we didn't and just had the risks in our heads. Once we got a bit bigger (~10-15 employees) then we formalized it and put in regular reviews etc. I guess it probably depends on your business and funding approach as well. We were selling B2B and lots of our larger customers required compliance with ISO27001 or similar, so had a get some proper processes in place for that too. I'd imagine that any investors would require this too, but we were bootstrapped, so I'm not 100% on that. Started off feeling fairly unnecessary to me, but actually it made more sense as the business grew and new people/departments started bringing in new risks that I was less familiar with.
