SRIIS

Comprehensive SaaS-Based Digital Risk Register

SRIIS is a state-of-the-art SaaS-based digital risk register designed to cater to both flat and hierarchical organizational structures, including international operations that span multiple currencies. It offers a sophisticated and customizable solution for managing risks across various domains within an organization.

Risk Classification

At its core, SRIIS classifies risks according to user-defined Risk Types, such as Operational Risk, Compliance Risk, IT Risk, Tax Risk, etc. This flexibility allows organizations to create tailored Risk Registers that meet their specific business needs.

Risk Normalization

Risks are normalized based on unique Risk Tolerance values for each operation or division and Risk Type. This normalization process involves evaluating:

  • The Probability of the risk occurring,
  • The Severity of the impact if it does occur, and
  • The Control Measures in place to mitigate the risk.
Risk Rating

Risks are categorized and stored with Untreated Risk and Residual Risk values, which produce a final Risk Rating ranging from Low to Critical. This enables baseline comparisons across different operations with varying Risk Tolerance values.

Hierarchical Risk Management

In hierarchical organizational structures, risks are classified at the “child” level (Primary Risk) and rolled back through the hierarchy to the root, creating a Subordinate Risk at each level. Subordinate Risks are re-categorized by Untreated Risk and Residual Risk values, generating a Risk Rating based on the Risk Tolerance value for that level and Risk Type. This includes currency conversion using a detailed user-defined Exchange Rate matrix, allowing divisions with multiple reporting operations to identify key risks efficiently.

Tracking Risk Over Time

Risks are grouped within reporting periods, enabling the tracking of Risk Rating progression or regression over time. This historical tracking provides insights into the effectiveness of risk management strategies.

Real-Time Data and Reporting

Risk data is created and updated on a real-time basis, and system-generated Risk Registers can be produced instantaneously. This ensures that organizations always have up-to-date information on their risk landscape.

Robust Security

SRIIS features a robust Role-Based security infrastructure, defining named users and associated system access based on role assignments. Credentials can be further restricted to limit access to specific operations and/or Risk Types, ensuring that sensitive information is only accessible to authorized personnel.

Key Capabilities
  • Customizable Risk Registers: Tailor risk classifications to specific business needs.
  • Risk Normalization: Evaluate and categorize risks based on probability, severity, and control measures.
  • Hierarchical Risk Management: Manage risks across multiple organizational levels with currency conversion.
  • Progress Tracking: Monitor risk rating changes over time.
  • Real-Time Data: Access up-to-date risk information and generate reports instantly.
  • Enhanced Security: Utilize role-based access control to protect sensitive data.
