ENTERPRISE AND OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Many organizations struggle to get an overview of the risks at their organizations as they are scattered across departments and personnel. There is a lot of struggle to get a visibility into the status of the issues identified and the efforts undertaken to bring them to a logical closure. RSA Archer’s Enterprise and Operational Risk Management solution offers to bring all them into one platform giving greater transparency into risks, associated controls and all the way up to corporate level risk statements. This gives a trace back ability for each risk identified across the organization. The Risk catalogues presents its ability to capture all the defined risks with respective due dates. The dashboards that roll up to the executive level give a clear and concise picture of where the organization stands with respect to remediation of the risks identified, there by an assurance that the internal control framework is operating as expected. The Enterprise and Operational Risk Management solution also ensures that operational risks are not the jobs of risk managers to tackle but are of everyone in the organization. The easy to use interface and customizable dashboards ensure people appropriately flag risks and raise issues making it part of the overall culture of the organization.
THIRD PARTY GOVERNANCE
As organisations grow in size, it is crucial to manage the risk of the vendors as any faulty product or service by the vendors or for instance data breaches, either unintentionally or intentionally directly impacts the reputation of the organisation. It is with the premise 'Activities can be outsourced but not the responsibilities and accountability' that third party governance solution on RSA Archer has been developed. The solution facilitates organisations to have one platform to house all the third party details such as engagements the vendors are involved with, the contracts/ agreements signed, the risk ratings of the vendors that comprise of inherent and residual risks calculated across areas such as Financial Stability, reputation, Credit Health etc. The solution also enables organizations to establish performance metrics to monitor all these throughout the life cycle of the vendor.With comprehensive mechanism in place, the organization will all be braced to take informed decisions.
AUDIT MANAGEMENT
RSA Archer’s Audit management solution enables organisations to scope out audit engagements based on the criticality, create work papers and other documentation, report issues and findings to appropriate teams in a timely manner all based on an automated work flow throughout the life cycle of an audit engagement. The Audit Management solution can be integrated into the wider Risk Management Program of the organisation enabling the risks out of audits happening in an organisation which would otherwise be just ticking the boxes for compliance. A risk based audit approach has many advantages over the traditional one in that it increases the efficiency of the staff, focus on important ones rather than on low critical ones. The platform also can aid in easier retrieval of audit reports and related documents when the organisation faces external auditors and regulators.

The cost and effort in being in compliant with the federal regulations can be contained with the use of this solution. It allows the organizations to actively track issues, audit findings result from various scanning devices and pursue them to avoid repetitive occurrences.
BUSINESS RESILIENCY
Man made and natural disasters sometimes have impact on the critical business processes of an organization by destructing either facilities or people or processes or a combination of them. The 9/11 attacks on the USA, the frequent natural disasters that strike Japan are some examples that have had a huge toll on the businesses operating within and those in the vicinity. It should be a constant endeavor of the organisations to reduce the impact of disasters on their business processes. Regulations such as FFIEC, ISO 22301, NFPAA 1600, FINRA Rule 4370 detail out the steps to be taken for a successful business continuity management. These regulations typically guide on the steps to be taken for a successful business continuity management. These regulations typically say that the organisation has to first prioritize the list of business processes. The critical ones are attributed financial metrics to quantify the losses if they go out of order during disasters. Metrics such as Recovery Point Objective (RPO), Recovery Time objective (RTO) are found out during the span of the exercise. Contingency plans are made to make sure if ever a disaster strikes, the critical business processes come back within acceptable time. These contingency plans are tested, with results documented and analysed if they are acceptable. Such test runs would bring in confidence among the senior management that their businesses are not so vulnerable. Crisis management piece of the solution enables coordinated and consistent approach for faster response and mass communication. RSA Archer’s Business Resiliency solution brings in such cases such as Business Impact Analysis, Incident Management, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning and Crisis management to facilitate the above processes thereby making an organization business resilient.
REGULATORY AND CORPORATE COMPLIANCE
Many a times, organizations face losses not only because of competition but also because of regulatory penalties. The magnitude of these payments sometimes costs shaving off certain business units to compensate. The regulatory scrutiny is intensely applicable to critical industries such as Banking, Finance, Insurance and Health care. It is utmost important to constantly look for applicable regulations which are fluid in nature.These applicable regulations have to be complied with by the organisations. The whole process is made easier with RSA Archer’s regulatory and Corporate Compliance solution. It facilitates in centralizing all the regulations applicable, corporate policies and other requirements. These are then applied to business units, projects, new products etc. to know the level of compliance. Any deviations reported out of the compliance validations or out of self assessments of communicating new policy changes by appropriately routing the change request to personal through automated notifications. The solution also provides data Governance and privacy Impact assurance programs that are essential elements of EU-GDPR (European General Data Protection regulation).
IT SECURITY & RISK
Information Security assets in an organization are one of the most important ones next only to people. It is essential for an organization to categorize information technology assets based on their criticality in terms of the information they hold or process or in terms of the need for the availability or bases on the other factors the business deems as necessary. These IT assets that are critical should have valid licenced software, valid patches are applied at regular intervals, and any incidents reported on these assets must be investigated into and resolved. For this to happen seamlessly, an automated work flow with auto assignment of responsible personnel whose reporting goes up to the senior management level is all the more necessary. The IT Security and Risk solution on RSA Archer enables organizations to do exactly this and a lot more. The solution can be integrated with SIEM tools/vulnerability scanners that the organization may be using. The reports provided by these other systems need to be triaged, assigned to responsible personnel facilitating appropriate decision making. The IT Security & Risk Solution also enables organizations to perform controls testing on their IT assets based on centralized controls. The results could all be summarized and reports could be generated on an ad-hoc basis throughout the life cycle of controls testing. This feature not only reduces the time and effort but also gives more transparency into control testing process.
Robotic Process Automation
By leveraging Robotic Process Automation, majority of the repetitive, high frequency and mundane tasks could be automated at organizations freeing up valuable resources to focus more on strategic and human centric tasks. With RPA in place, productivity and efficiency improves with robots working 24×7 error free without fatigue.
Organizations could start small with RPA by choosing most repetitive, time consuming, large volume and rule based which would reap in the maximum benefits. Such smaller implementations that result in faster ROI realization could be fitted into the larger vision towards automation.
Starting with most talked about HR process automation to complex automations in the financial world, we could help you in realizing the power of intelligent automation. Integrade is different from other RPA partners in that we are also particularly conscious of the risks that RPA implementations carry – be it data privacy or identity access management or business continuity.
