Head of Risk or
CRO.
Guardial keeps your risk register live, with KRIs set on the data already in your program. The board package pulls from real data instead of getting rebuilt every quarter. Guardial also scores your control coverage against recent regulator enforcement themes, then tells you where to look next.
The work you own, done.
Four objectives we hear from every Head of Risk or CRO on their first call. Each one maps to a Guardial workflow, an agent, or both.
-
A live risk register.
The register inherits your org structure, scoped by entity, with ownership trails and last-touched timestamps. So downloaded copies of the master spreadsheet stop diverging across teams.
-
RCSA cycles that actually finish.
Guided RCSA workspaces with FS-tailored templates. Assign, score, and attest, then roll up to the enterprise heat map in one sitting. That beats six weeks and a 40-page deck.
-
KRIs that aren't lagging indicators.
Set KRIs on the data already in the app and define appetite by entity and category. Then you hear about it the day a metric crosses its threshold, not the week after.
-
Forward-looking exam readiness.
Guardial scores your control coverage against recent CFPB, OCC, SEC, and NCUA enforcement themes. So you see where examiners are likely to look next, in time to act.
The numbers the
board actually reads.
We measure what a Head of Risk reports to the board and the risk committee. Vanity metrics stay off the list.

A day, on Guardial.
Drawn from a real customer’s first month after go-live. Times approximated; the workflows are exact.
-
8:00a
Risk movement review.
The Risk Movement agent flagged two controls whose signal lapsed overnight. Confirm and assign.

10:00a
RCSA check-in.
Three business units mid-assessment. Nudge the two that are behind; scores roll up automatically.
-
1:00p
KRI breach triage.
Fraud loss ratio crossed appetite. The issue is already open in Issues Home with an owner; set the remediation date.
-
3:00p
Board prep.
Pull the live heat map and KRI trend. The narrative writes itself from the open issues.

The questions
on your first call.
The three concerns we hear most often from Heads of Risk, answered without marketing copy.
Yes. The register lives in Guardial, scoped by entity, and updates as the underlying data changes. No downloaded copies to reconcile.
You set KRIs on the data in your program today, and connect additional sources as they come online. A breach opens an issue on its own, with the rationale logged.
Point tools stop at their module. Guardial runs on a cross-module spine, so the agents work across modules and every finding lands in one Issues Home. As a result, reporting pulls from a single source of truth.
Our risk register was a spreadsheet that went stale the day after the committee met. Now it is live, the KRIs open issues on their own, and the board sees the same numbers I do.
