Observations (Enterprise)
Report what you noticed from wherever you noticed it, through a public link with no login and a form built for a phone. Nothing to install, and no category to get right before you can send it.
Catch the risk when somebody notices it
One public link with no login, so any colleague can report what they spotted from a phone in half a minute. It lands in an inbox with an owner, where a person decides whether it becomes a risk scenario.
Unlimited users • Free onboarding and support • No commitment

Risk observations
Meridian's risk register now starts with people who never log in
A technician on a service round notices that only one of three pumps in a technical room is still running. She has no login to Meridian's compliance platform and no reason to want one, so she opens a link on her phone, writes down what she saw and gets on with the round. Meridian Nordic is an energy and utilities group, 850 people across Denmark, Sweden and Germany, with NIS2 to answer to and a certified information security management system to keep, and Anders Krogh is the CISO who used to be the only route into its risk register. Now the register starts with her, and the review starts with him.
-
One public link with no login, so 850 colleagues can report something without a seat in the platform.
-
Every observation arrives with a name and an email on it, so the review can begin with a question rather than a guess.
-
The link does not expire, which is why it can sit on the intranet, in onboarding material and on a printed sign at a site.
-
Closing an observation is a valid outcome on the record, so the register fills up with risks instead of noise.
Risk observations
The observation happens on a Tuesday, not in the risk hour
Most of what an organisation needs to know about its own risk is noticed by somebody who has no reason to open a compliance platform. It gets mentioned at a handover, and then the day moves on.
-
The people standing closest to the equipment are the people least likely to have a login.
-
By the time the risk work comes round again, the detail that mattered has gone soft.
-
Nobody files a form that costs them an account, a password and a guess about which module it belongs in.
Risk observations
One link, no login, half a minute on a phone
The link is public, there is no login in front of it, and the form is deliberately short. This is also the second place in the platform where somebody without a seat can do useful work.
-
Open the link on a phone, write what you saw, send it. No account, and nothing to install.
-
You do not have to know which risk area it belongs to, and consequence and probability can be left empty.
-
The other no-login route points the other way: an assessment you sent out about a named activity. An observation is the opposite, nobody asked for it.
Risk observations
A link that does not expire is a link you can print
The link is permanent. That sounds like a small detail until you have tried to keep a temporary one alive across three countries and a shift pattern.
-
One link goes on the intranet, into the onboarding material, and onto a sign in the building where the equipment is.
-
Nobody has to reissue it, and nobody has to explain why the old link stopped working.
-
Because there is no login in front of the form, the review in the inbox is what decides what enters the register.
Risk observations
Every observation has a name on it
The person reporting states their name and email. That has an obvious upside, and one thing we would rather be blunt about than leave for you to discover.
-
The upside: whoever reviews it can go straight back and ask what they actually saw.
-
The blunt part: observations are attributed, never anonymous.
-
So this is not a whistleblower channel, and it should not be introduced to your colleagues as one.
Risk observations
A person reads it, then converts it or closes it
Everything reported lands in an inbox with an owner. From there it goes one of two ways, and both of them are a result.
-
Convert it into a risk scenario in one step, and the person responsible for the area is notified automatically.
-
From there it joins the normal assessment flow: consequence, probability and a justification on both.
-
Or close it. Not everything needs to become a risk, and reviewing openly is what keeps people reporting.
Risk observations
It receives what a person files, and nothing more
Three things that are easy to assume in our favour, so we will say them ourselves.
-
We do not subscribe to external security advisories on your behalf. Somebody who reads one and thinks it matters files it through the same link.
-
The platform records what a person reports. It does not scan your services and it does not raise anything on its own, so it is not a SIEM.
-
We do not judge relevance for you either. Somebody in your organisation reads each observation and makes that call.

Know who has signed off which version of the policy
