BowTie Pro™ is at the forefront of developing user-friendly risk assessment software.

Its intuitive design allows bowtie diagrams to be created either individually or collaboratively in group sessions, with data easily entered directly into the diagram or through the integrated risk register.

The bowtie diagram offers a clear visual structure—placing the hazard at the centre (the “knot”), threats on the left, and consequences on the right. This format not only supports effective risk communication but also demonstrates how risks are being actively managed to a broad audience.

BowTie Pro™ enables detailed information to be recorded against each control, including tasks, task assignments, supporting documents, hyperlinks, verification methods, and more. It also provides integration capabilities with incident investigation tools and record-keeping systems.
