Compliance is worth nothing without governance

We have developed a GRC platform where you can combine your governance, risk management, and compliance efforts.

How are the three areas so connected?

You need to see governance as a series of activities and tasks that help you document that you are compliant with the specific requirement and demands. At the same time, the management ensures that you maintain and control your compliance efforts going forward.

In addition, you can integrate your risk management into the same solution and set up controls for all your risk management.

Thus, everyone involved only needs to know one system, and everything is documented identically across the different areas while, at the same time, efficiency increases.

Well-known challenges with the control work

As a department manager, you must perform many controls, and as you are probably aware of, errors occurring from lack of control can have massive consequences.

However, it can be challenging getting a full overview in order to avoid such errors. At the same time, it takes a high level of trust towards your coworkers when working with controls in Excel or Outlook. Doubt can quickly arise because you don't know how far the organization has come with your controls due to a lack of transparency.

In addition, you probably also know that using Excel to document your controls can be a challenge.

With RISMA's solution, you get system supported governance that systematizes and automates your controls, ensuring that you can minimize the risk of errors and feel safe that your control work is on track.

You always have a full overview and up to date with the status of controls within the organization.

Governance step by step - based on the PDCA management method

Plan - plan for improvement: In step one, we help you identify and place your many controls in the system. You only have to set up your controls the first time. Afterwards, they will automatically be sent to relevant employees who have to manage or approve them.

Do – complete your controls: In step two, relevant employees, and managers, oversee or approve the controls which they will be notified about through emails. This will happen automatically, ensuring that no task will fall through the cracks. In addition, you can make sure that if a very important task is not done on time, it can be forwarded to other employees.

Check - learn from the output and correct: As the controls are completed, it is possible to escalate them to the 2nd line control level where other colleagues approve them or take samples. In the 3rd line control level, either internal or external auditors check that the samples are in order.

Act - Set up improvements: In the final step of the process, you continuously adjust the individual controls. This will ensure systematic follow-up and streamline your governance work.

Implementation of the governance solution

Our governance solution has an intuitive user interface and is easy to work with. However, it may help to ensure optimal implementation in the organization.
To get the best possible start, our Customer Success team is ready to help you get started with a well-organized process. They know what best practice is and what it takes to streamline the process across the organization. They will also continuously support you and be available so that you get the most value out of your solution.
