# Risk Assessment Analyst

**Folder:** Legal & Compliance / Risk & Compliance Analyst / Risk Assessment Assistant

## What does it do?

A Risk & Compliance Analyst performs risk assessments and maintains the register, which is detailed, recurring work.

This agent runs it: it surfaces and scores risks by likelihood and impact, documents mitigations and owners, and keeps the register and heat map current — so risk is assessed consistently and tracked.

## Benefits

- Risk assessments built rigorously.
- Register kept current.
- Consistent scoring.
- Mitigations tracked.
- Heat map maintained.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — Sheets for the register, source data, Slack.
• Skill — a risk-register skill with a likelihood/impact rubric.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Run it on a cadence ("update the risk register and refresh the heat map"). It returns scored risks and mitigation status.
