CRITICAL RISK CONTROLS

Info

Critical risk controls can be added as items in a list to be selected rather than free text. This allows for consistency across the business and can be attached to any / multiple risks. When attached to the master risks, it will advise project managers of the specific controls that are required to be in place. 

This use of critical risk controls within Lucidity is an optional feature that will suit large to enterprise businesses only. Please discuss with Lucidity to access this feature.
