Assign a risk to multiple departments to reflect cross-functional ownership

What's new?

The Department field in Risk Management now supports multiple selections, allowing you to associate risks with multiple departments to better reflect cross-functional ownership.

Why was this needed?

Many risks span multiple departments, but the single-select Department field allowed selection of only one department. This limited visibility made it harder for all relevant teams to track risks they own. Multi-select departments ensure risks appear for all assigned departments, improving visibility and accountability across teams.

How it works

• Select multiple departments when creating or editing a risk

• Filter risks by any assigned department—risks appear in results for all selected departments

• Contributors can view risks tied to departments they have access to, even if additional departments are assigned

• Export risks with departments shown as comma-separated values

Note: The Department field for Mitigation Tasks remains single-select.
