Making ERM work through Riskonnect GRC

Riskonnect empowers executives to make forward-looking decisions based on real-time, enterprise-wide, comprehensive risk information. Riskonnect GRC is a comprehensive, web-based system that gathers diverse risk data from across the enterprise in a highly visual manner so that risks are easily identified, assessed, and managed.

Performance and risks are interconnected. Many GRC programs are often focused on a single regulation like SOX financial controls with little to no view of the connectivity between enterprise-wide risks. Others address singular sources of risk such as IT. Many GRC programs fail. They fail to meet goals. They fail to bring value to the organization. They fail to break down the silos of risk management across the organization. They fail to improve communication around risks. They fail to understand the culture of the organization and the context in which the risks exist.

Embedding a beneficial risk culture and the right level of risk awareness throughout the organization is imperative. Technology that facilitates this can propel your program to a significantly more mature level, while at the same time optimizing expenditure on controls and improving compliance activity. After all, all areas of a company relate. Business decisions can be much more strategic and opportunistic if the interconnectedness of emerging or key risks is an integral part of the risk assessment.

Spreadsheets are a Risk for Risk Management

All organizations face risks. The ones who seem to succeed year over year and rebound most quickly from a major disruption are those that have embedded and formalized processes to not only identify risks, but also to mitigate those risks.

Riskonnect GRC is a comprehensive, web-based system that gathers diverse risk data from across the enterprise and from external sources in a highly visual manner so that risks are easily identified, assessed, and mitigated and effectively managed within the organization's risk appetite. It represents a quantum leap beyond commonly used tools like spreadsheets. No other software enables users to enter and dynamically visualize risk relationships, communicate risk assessment and mitigation activities, and see the impacts of risk on objectives and financials, all supported by full audit trails and extensive workflow capabilities.
