General Understanding
CompRisk is a comprehensive software solution designed specifically for Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC). It offers a modern, integrated approach to managing these critical business functions, replacing conventional methods.
GRC software, like CompRisk, helps organisations streamline and centralise their good governance practices, helps to identify and mitigate risks, and ensures compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and internal policies. CompRisk specifically aims to make these processes easier to manage, provide clarity (“clearing uncertainty”), track responsibility, and significantly reduce the administrative effort involved.
CompRisk is designed for any organisation seeking to improve its GRC processes and eliminate the inefficiencies of manual systems like spreadsheets. It’s particularly beneficial for businesses that need enhanced management oversight and want to reduce the administrative workload associated with GRC. Roles such as compliance managers, risk officers, internal auditors, company secretaries, and senior management responsible for oversight typically find great value in CompRisk.
Problem & Solution Focused
CompRisk is fundamentally designed to be the solution that helps you move beyond spreadsheets. It allows organisations to import historic data, then it provides a centralised, dedicated platform for all your GRC data and activities. Unlike static spreadsheets, CompRisk offers dynamic features like smart notifications and dashboards, providing real-time insights and automated tracking, making traditional spreadsheet management obsolete for GRC.
CompRisk addresses key challenges inherent in traditional GRC management, including: the significant time wasted on manual administrative tasks, the lack of clear and timely visibility for management (“uncertainty”), the difficulty in ensuring consistent processes, and the risks associated with errors or outdated information in spreadsheets.
CompRisk clears uncertainty by replacing fragmented, potentially out-of-date spreadsheet data with a single, reliable source of truth. The relevant dashboards provide a clear view of your current risk and compliance status, while smart notifications ensure key information reaches the right people promptly. This transparency gives management confidence in their understanding of the organisation’s GRC posture.
Features & Functionality
The CompRisk toolkit provides integrated capabilities for managing Governance, Risk, and Compliance functions. Key enhancing features include its smart notification system to keep users informed and accountable, and relevant dashboards designed to provide excellent management oversight at a glance. The system is user-friendly and allows companies to complete their risk registers and their Compliance Risk Management plans (CRMP’s), and for managers to receive real-time progress updates.
The smart notifications are designed to proactively alert users to important GRC-related events or required actions. This includes targeted reminders for upcoming deadlines, alerts about status changes, or notifications for tasks requiring review or approval. The escalation process built into the smart notifications will only notify relevant managers when items require their attention. They help ensure timely action and reduce the risk of oversight.
The dashboards provide a consolidated, visual summary of key GRC information relevant to a company’s compliance status. You can expect insights into overall compliance status, risk levels, outstanding tasks, and potential areas of concern. This allows managers to quickly grasp the organisation’s GRC health, identify trends, and make informed decisions, thereby providing “excellent management oversight”.
Ease of Use & Implementation
CompRisk prioritises ease of use through an intuitive interface and logical workflows designed to simplify complex GRC tasks. Where tasks are routine or repetitive, automation is used to complete it. The aim is to reduce the learning curve and make the system accessible, ensuring that users can effectively manage their responsibilities without needing extensive technical expertise. The other benefit that a system has over and above spreadsheets is that it allows access control to specific items, or even parts thereof. A manager no longer has to confirm if an employee is working on the correct item, as all items assigned to them are relevant to them.
CompRisk reduces the administrative load by automating many manual GRC processes, centralising information, and streamlining reporting. Tasks like data aggregation, reminder setting, and status tracking, which are time-consuming in spreadsheet-based systems, are handled more efficiently within the toolkit, freeing up valuable time for your team.
Getting started involves setting up the platform to align with your organisation’s specific GRC framework. While every implementation depends on the organisation’s needs, CompRisk is designed with ease of use and reduced administration in mind, aiming for a straightforward transition. Data imports ensure that all the hard you done previously can be stored in a safe and secure location.
