Description

The best risk management software can provide companies with a variety of advantages. It can help businesses to comply with regulations, enhance security and security of data and reduce the cost of incidents that are triggered by risk, improve decisions based on current intelligence and more. Ultimately, the right risk management tool can give your business a competitive advantage by ensuring your company is ready to take on any challenges that come your way.

Many vendors offer a variety of risk management solutions that can be tailored to different needs. For example, some vendors offer enterprise risk management (ERM) solutions for larger organizations. ERM provides division managers with an approach to risk and gives an overview of the company’s overall risk profile. Other vendors offer more specific solutions for managing risk including third-party risk management (TPRM) and compliance management (CM).

When evaluating risk-management tools it is crucial to consider how they can be integrated into the current technology stack. This will save you from purchasing additional software, and also eliminate the possibility that there are security holes or compatibility issues with plugins. If your team already uses tools for productivity, such as Slack or JIRA it is essential to ensure that the software you’re evaluating integrates with them.

The best software for managing risk should be able to track current threats as well as those that resurface. CURA for instance, uses risk reports to determine the probability of an incident occurring and allows users to monitor the progress made in reducing those risks. It also provides a dashboard for tracking all risks assigned, resolved and not resolved, along with an interactive analysis of these risks. Other features worth looking for include an intuitive user interface, customisable and flexible reporting tools, such as reports, heat maps, and dashboards, and the ability to export these into popular formats for files.
