Risk Maturity Assessment
Start Free DiagnosticWhere does your risk capability really stand?
In under ten minutes, Clew's Risk Diagnostic maps your organisation's current risk and assurance maturity across seven key factors and shows you exactly where to focus next.
The Diagnostic
A structured lens on your risk maturity
The Clew Risk Diagnostic is a free, experience-based assessment built for risk and assurance professionals in mid-market and regulated organisations. It takes around ten minutes to complete and gives you a clear, visual picture of where your capability stands today — and where meaningful improvement is possible.
Your results are mapped against recognised maturity benchmarks, so you can understand not just your current position, but what "good" looks like at each level of the journey.

The problem
Why most teams can't see the full picture
Risk management in most organisations has evolved incrementally — tools added here, processes bolted on there. The result is a fragmented view that makes it hard to know where you genuinely stand.
01
Spreadsheets and disconnected registers
Risk is tracked in isolation — spreadsheets, static reports, and disconnected tools that make it difficult to see patterns, gaps, or the relationship between risk and business outcomes.
02
No clear line of sight to improvement
Teams know something isn't quite working, but without a structured assessment there is no clear starting point for knowing what to prioritise or what "better" actually looks like.
03
Reporting that doesn't resonate with boards
Risk reporting is often produced for compliance rather than insight. Executives and boards struggle to connect it to the decisions that actually matter for the business.
04
Assurance that runs in parallel, not alongside
When assurance activity is disconnected from risk ownership and business objectives, it becomes difficult to demonstrate that it is actually protecting the things that matter.
05
No consistent benchmark to measure against
Without an external reference point, it is almost impossible to know whether your current capability is appropriate for your size, sector, and the complexity of risks you face.
What you receive
More than a score, a clear direction
01
Your Risk Maturity Spider Chart
An immediate, visual representation of your current capability across all seven risk factors. At a glance, you can see where you are strong, where gaps exist, and how your profile compares to Level 2, 3, and 4 maturity benchmarks.
02
A Free Tailored Analysis Report
A written report built around your responses. Not a generic template — a genuine analysis of what your results indicate, what they mean in practice, and where the most meaningful improvement opportunities lie.
03
Practical Guidance on Next Steps
Clear, prioritised recommendations on where to focus your efforts. Structured around the idea that risk maturity should serve business performance — not just compliance — with guidance grounded in what genuinely makes a difference.
The Seven Factors
Seven dimensions. One coherent picture.
The Diagnostic maps your capability across the seven factors that most directly determine how much control your organisation has over business outcomes through its risk and assurance practices.
Risk Visibility
How clearly risks are identified, captured, and visible to those who need to act on them.
Risk Ownership
Whether accountability for risk is clearly assigned and actively exercised across the business.
Risk Structure
The frameworks, processes, and governance that support a consistent approach to managing risk.
Risk Discipline
How consistently risk practices are applied and embedded — not just documented but lived.
Decision Confidence
Whether risk insight genuinely informs business decisions at the right level.
Control Insight
The quality of understanding around whether controls are working and providing real assurance.
Risk Scalability
Whether your approach can adapt as the organisation grows, changes, or faces new challenges.
