Delete a Risk

You can delete risks from the Sprinto Risk Register if they are no longer applicable or were added by mistake. Deletion is only permitted for risks that are not part of a completed assessment cycle.

Prerequisites

  • You must be an Admin or Risk Manager with appropriate permissions.

  • The risk must not be in a Reviewed or Locked state.


Delete an Individual Risk

  1. Go to Risks from the left navigation.

  2. Click on the Risk Register tab.

  3. Locate the risk you want to delete.

  4. Click on the risk to open its details.

  5. Click the More options (⋯) menu in the top-right corner.

  6. Select Delete Risk.

  7. Confirm the deletion in the pop-up dialog.

🗑️ Once deleted, the risk will be permanently removed from the register and cannot be restored.


Delete a Risk During Bulk Upload (Before Saving)

If you are uploading risks via CSV and notice an error before confirming:

  1. Upload the CSV using the Upload CSV option.

  2. On the preview screen, deselect the row(s) you do not want to import.

  3. Click Import Selected to proceed without those risks.


Restrictions on Deletion

  • Risks that are part of a completed or reviewed risk assessment cannot be deleted.

  • If a risk has open treatment tasks or mapped controls, you must remove those associations first.

  • All deletions are logged in the audit trail.
