Organization Settings ​

Organization settings define a small set of defaults that apply across projects. These defaults are most valuable when they’re set early and used consistently across governance, risk quantification, and reporting.

What this is ​

Organization settings help you keep governance consistent:

  • a single currency for monetary risk quantification and budgets
  • a default UI language for the organization
  • an organization description used as context in reports and exports

Where in Modulos ​

Most organization settings are managed by organization admins, but viewable by regular members.

  • Organization → Settings
Organization settings page showing currency, default language, and organization description.
Organization settings are where admins set currency and language defaults and maintain the organization profile. UI shown in light mode.

Who can do what ​

Permissions

  • Organization Admins can update currency, language, and profile details.
  • Organization Members can typically view these settings but cannot change them.

If you can’t access the page, ask an organization admin to confirm your access.

How it works ​

Currency ​

Modulos treats money as the universal comparison unit for risk:

  • it forces risk statements into stakeholder-relevant terms
  • it allows prioritization across risk types
  • it connects directly to risk appetite, which is expressed as resource allocation

The currency you choose becomes the unit for:

  • organization risk appetite and budgets
  • quantified risk values such as expected loss
  • rollups and reports where monetary values appear

Modulos does not automatically convert historical values if you change currency later. Set currency early and keep it stable.

Default language ​

The organization language sets the default UI language for the organization. It affects interface labels and some exports.

It does not translate your organization content. Control descriptions, evidence summaries, and uploaded documents stay as written.

Organization profile ​

The organization name is set when the organization is created. The description is editable and can be used to provide context in reports and exports.

How to use it ​

1

Set currency

Choose the currency used for risk appetite and quantified values

2

Set language

Choose the default UI language for the organization

3

Add description

Write a short org profile used as context in reporting

4

Save

Apply changes for the organization

Important considerations ​

  • Changing currency later does not retro-convert existing monetary values.
  • Language affects the UI, not your content. Treat it as a display preference, not translation.
  • If you don’t see Organization → Settings, your organization role may not include settings access.
