# Risk Register Report

## **Risk Register Report**

The Risk Register export allows you to turn your bowtie diagram into a structured Excel report, making it easier to analyse barrier information and risk attributes across diagrams. 

 The export contains two components: 

- Risk Register: Captures threats and their associated consequences.
- Barrier Register: Lists all barriers along with their metadata.

Step 1: In the toolbar, click Download & Export. Then, select Export Risk Register.
