Solution Perspective: An Integrated 360° View of Risk, Resiliency & Integrity

As business environments become evermore complex and intertwined, there is a rising need for organisations to adopt a 360° approach to gain contextual awareness of their governance, risk and compliance (GRC) processes to help them achieve objectives, remain agile, address uncertainty and effectively manage risk across their enterprise.

The World of Business is Distributed, Dynamic and Interconnected

There is a complex ecosystem of relationships with stakeholders, clients and third parties, and an ever-changing landscape of the day-to-day of business operations – from changes in employees, to that of regulations, strategies and business objectives. One thing that is constant, is change. This is driving the need for organisations to adopt a 360° approach to gain contextual awareness of their governance, risk and compliance (GRC) environment, to help them achieve objectives, remain agile, address uncertainty and effectively manage risk across their enterprise. Addressing the organisational ecosystem as a whole with a holistic approach allows businesses to operate with greater confidence, rather than as decentralised and dissociated departments, which naturally has the ability to snowball and significantly impact the entire ecosystem.

“The interconnectedness of objectives, risks, resiliency, and integrity require 360° contextual awareness of integrated Governance, Risk management, and Compliance (GRC). Organisations need to see the intricate relationships of objectives, risks, obligations, commitments, and controls across the enterprise. It requires holistic visibility and intelligence of risk in the context of objectives. The complexity of business – combined with the intricacy and interconnectedness of risk and objectives – necessitates that the organisation implement an integrated GRC management strategy.”

This improves the organisation’s overall visibility into GRC across the organisation – with greater accountability and ownership to manage risks. All of this while eliminating the overhead of managing manual assessment processes encumbered by hundreds to thousands of spreadsheets, documents, and emails. Clients find that the solution is flexible to adapt to their requirements, has the capabilities needed, and provides them the ability to grow and mature their program over time. Overall, users find the solution was particularly easy to implement and rollout in their organisation.”

How Neodigital Established a Complete Risk Inventory Within Alyne in 6 Weeks

Neodigital, a digital insurance company, aimed to strengthen its Operational Risk Management capabilities within the framework of management systems and information security. They required a solution that could not only provide agile Risk Management, but cover topics across the full governance and compliance spectrum, as well. Neodigital’s first goal in Alyne was to create a complete inventory of all existing risks, which was achieved in just six weeks.

Neodigital Versicherung AG was founded in 2017 by Stephen Voss and Dirk Wittling with the goal of making it a leading insurance factory. Thanks to the strong team with many years of experience in the insurance industry, Neodigital has developed, in a very short time, into a digital insurance company based on simplified and accelerated processes with the help of extensive automations.

 

“We live digitisation in all our processes. Therefore, it is important to us to integrate it into our internal processes. Mitratech’s Alyne GRC platform helps us support our employees in the Risk Management space and beyond.”

– Anzhela Kuts Chief of Staff – Neodigital

 

While Neodigital continues its ambitious growth course, it aims to strengthen its Operational Risk Management capabilities within the framework of management systems and information security. An isolated solution, exclusively for Risk Management purposes, was out of the question for Neodigital, as other topics from the governance and compliance environment, such as VAIT Compliance or ISO 27001 Compliance, were also highly relevant.

After selecting Mitratech’s Alyne platform, Neodigital’s first goal was to create a complete inventory of all existing risks. To reach this goal, three steps were necessary within Alyne:

  1. Configuration of the Instance
  2. Migration of Existing Risks
  3. Updating the Risk Inventory

Only six weeks after signing the contract, Neodigital was able to successfully achieve its goal of developing a complete risk inventory and efficiently record as well as manage risks from different divisions.

Read about their journey in detail and the time-to-value that the Alyne platform provides. The case study is available in both English and German.
