riskDNA review
Risk registers, bow-tie analysis and control assessment for enterprise operational risk.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
riskDNA is enterprise risk intelligence software from Relegen Pty Ltd for organisations assessing and managing operational risk across sites and business units. Its scope includes an enterprise-wide risk register, risk scoring and comparison, semi-quantified assessments, and bow-tie analysis of threats, consequences and controls. That combination is suited to teams that need a shared operational-risk framework and a way to connect assessments with control effectiveness and follow-up actions.
The control-management capabilities are a central reason to consider riskDNA. Critical-control modelling and effectiveness assessment sit alongside Key Control Data Sheets, risk-improvement action tracking, dashboards, reports, triggers and alerts. Relegen describes a seven-step risk-management framework aligned with ISO 31000. For organizations seeking to examine how controls relate to risks and keep corrective actions visible, these features offer a broader workflow than a register limited to recording risk entries. Mobile risk-management workflows are available through relegenDNA Mobile, and assetDNA is another named integration.
Deployment options include cloud, self-hosted and hybrid, while the listed platform is web. Relegen also identifies multilingual support and 24/7 support. Pricing is by contact with sales rather than a public plan structure; Relegen directs prospective customers to request a demo and discuss a trial. A free cloud trial is described as available to organizations following an online demo. riskDNA is a stronger fit for enterprise operational-risk and control-effectiveness programs than for buyers focused on supplier risk or continuous monitoring: those capabilities are not part of its stated feature set. Organizations wanting to assess the product should start with a demo and clarify deployment and trial arrangements with Relegen.
