The Right Tools
We enable better decision making and focus on regulatory requirements, including the timeliness and accuracy of reporting and external communication with regulators.
Reporting
Stakeholders expect more transparency from organizations in their disclosures. Effective reporting of your material topics is key to the success of all GRC programs. We can help you establish or enhance your governance, risk, and compliance reporting so your organization can make better decisions.
Data and Tools
GRC data can be overwhelming and complex. Traditionally, processes in this area are neglected and manual in nature. We help you navigate through these complexities to find new processes and tools to successfully manage governance, risk, and compliance data.
Governance
Proper oversight is needed in the world of governance, risk, and compliance, including setting the right policies, making sure that roles and responsibilities are defined at the board level and across the three lines of defense and putting effective KPIs and internal controls in place.
Compliance
The regulatory landscape is constantly changing around the world, and GRC is currently at the top of many new and emerging requirements. Firms need to stay updated on these regulations to avoid regulatory or legal risks.
Technology Strategy
We provide solutions to lead your IT business while managing the risk and governance of execution and operations. From strategy design to operating model enablement, we leverage innovation, proven practices, and adaptive delivery models for maximum value realization.
Operational Risk
Preventing risks related to people, processes, and technology has become a huge challenge, causing organizations to spend significant time, effort, and money to make the necessary changes and focus on operational risk management. As costs continue to increase, a manual, reactive, and siloed approach becomes unsustainable.
Today, operational risk capabilities need to be agile and flexible to effectively respond to the changing environment. The right model is aligned with and embedded into business processes.
Organizations must be proactive by adopting innovative risk management practices that meet the challenges of today’s customers, shareholders, employees, and regulatory landscape. SureStep’s Operational Risk software assists in automating the steps to identify, measure, monitor, analyze, and manage operational risk, allowing your business to mitigate risks with proactive management.
Model Risk Management
Model risk determines the potential for a financial institution to experience adverse consequences when using a model. The risk may be caused by errors in the model or the incorrect use of a sound model.
A company’s exposure to model risk varies based on the complexity of its mix of business activities and the broadness of the use of the model.
Business leaders need to understand the value and limitations of their models so they can make business decisions, develop business strategies, and achieve regulatory compliance. Because models are driven by assumptions and finite data inputs and then interpreted by people, model risk is inevitable.
Our Model Risk Management solution is designed to help your business meet the multiple challenges of model risk management by supporting various methodologies across different risk tiers, model types, and structures.
Vendor Risk Management
Organizations need to track vendor risk for the entire third-party lifecycle, from onboarding and assessment through reporting and offboarding. Collecting data helps companies track potential risks and establish controls. Reports allow companies to define and track business goals and vendor relationships.
Your company needs to flag risks and monitor vendor data over time. We created our Vendor Risk Management solution to help organizations manage third-party engagements and relationships efficiently to enhance the performance of each company.
