Review in detail
Dating from 1999 according to the vendor, riskHive concentrates on risk registers and quantitative analysis. The footer names riskHive Software Solutions Ltd and riskHive Technical Services Ltd, Nailsea, North Somerset BS48 4PG.
Home, about, contact and policy pages were read on 4 November 2026.
Certificates and policies
The contact page lists a UK phone number. The policy page carries a JOSCAR certificate, a Cyber Essentials Plus certificate and a GDPR policy.
Two products
Enterprise Risk Manager is the private-cloud risk database. Arrisca Risk Analyser stress-tests Excel spreadsheets.
Archer adds compliance, audit, third-party and policy handling; with riskHive those would come from other tools.
Heritage claim
riskHive says its management includes a co-creator of Active Risk Manager (1995), the first enterprise risk tool. We could not check that elsewhere.
Users on five continents are also claimed.
Known limits
Amounts and data location are absent. Only risk topics are shown: no audit, policy or framework modules. Integration detail is thin.
