Protect your mission with a connected view of risk and governance

Risk conversations shouldn't live outside the boardroom. But for most mission-driven organizations, that's exactly where they end up — in spreadsheets, shared drives and slide decks rebuilt before every committee meeting.

By the time directors ask what's changed since last quarter, staff are patching together reports from scattered files. It's slow, manual and leaves your board making decisions without the full picture.

BoardEffect and Diligent Risk Management change that.

One platform. One risk story your board can act on.

When risk and governance live in the same environment, directors get a live, structured view of risk, trends, ownership and mitigation progress, alongside every agenda and decision, in the platform they already trust. 

One connected record, always current, always board-ready.

Start where you are. Grow as you need to.

Mission-driven organizations aren't all at the same stage with risk management.

If your team is just moving off spreadsheets, AI Risk Essentials gives you a guided path to a credible risk program in days. Structured workflows, AI-powered risk identification and interactive heatmaps help your team and board easily identify, assess and mitigate risk without specialist staff or complex setup.

When you're ready to mature your program, Diligent ERM supports the full risk lifecycle — from identification through to monitoring and reporting — with external benchmarking powered by Moody's. Your board gets the data to answer the question that matters most: "How do we compare?"

As your program matures, the platform also gives teams access to ongoing learning and development. Through the Diligent Institute, teams can access educational resources and formal training, including Risk certification, helping build internal capability alongside the technology.

Both solutions sit on the Diligent One Platform alongside BoardEffect. No new vendor, no procurement process, and no learning curve for staff or directors.

Less manual work. More time for the mission.

Recurring tasks like surveying risk owners, scheduling assessments and assembling committee reports can be automated. Standardized templates keep updates consistent across committees. And because everything lives in one secure system, risk and governance stay aligned without the usual back-and-forth.

Better visibility into risk doesn’t just improve reporting — it reduces exposure. With a clear, documented view of risk and mitigation, boards can avoid last-minute surprises, protect organizational reputation and give directors greater confidence in the decisions they stand behind.

For existing BoardEffect customers, getting started is fast. Your data is centralized from day one and the platform grows with you as your needs evolve — trusted by over 5,000 mission-driven organizations who rely on it for exactly that reason.
