CoreStream Risk Management

What is Risk Management software? 

For any organization which aims to achieve its business targets while, at the same time, maintaining its resilience, a robust operational risk assessment and management strategy is a key attribute. 

The aim of the risk management process is to anticipate, identify, assess and control risks and avoid potential threats to normal business operations. 

The challenge for many organizations is often to ensure awareness amongst its stakeholders of the increasing variety and scale of possible negative risk and encourage ownership of managing that risk. 

Technology failures, legal issues, management or staff underperformance, financial uncertainty, health and safety problems, natural disasters or workplace accidents are just some of the areas which might cause potential risk and – long-term damage – to business continuity. 

The breadth of these internal and external threats present major challenges for risk managers, and project managers within the organization, conscious of the potentially damaging consequences which failure to identify, assess and manage risk might have for the wider organization. 

And whilst risk typically suggests negative connotations, identified risks need not always carry threats to the business. 

Positive risk could take the form of policy changes which offer business benefits while project risk management could see anticipated costs coming in under budget. 

In all cases, the key to good enterprise risk management is a system for: 

• Identifying risks. 
• Assessing the risk’s potential threat. 
• Analyzing the vulnerability of business assets. 
• Determining potential consequences to the organization. 
• Outlining measures needed for managing risk. 
• Implementing risk reduction actions.

CoreStream Information Asset Management (IAM)

What is Information Asset Management software? 

With information assets playing a critical role in the activities of most organizations, it is vital – particularly with today’s increased threats to cybersecurity – that data is monitored closely to ensure it is safely stored, up-to-date and protected from attack or misuse. 

An Information Asset Register (IAR) is typically used to catalogue all an organization’s key information and to outline what security measures are used to protect it, how it is stored and used and who is able to access it. 

These information assets can take many forms ranging from websites and databases, downloads, spreadsheets, emails, paper records and other data. 

With the introduction of more stringent regulations on information assets such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), there is increasing scrutiny on the amount of data organizations retain, how it is stored and, crucially, how it is used. 

The danger that any details held by an organization, particularly sensitive personal data, could be compromised or subject to data breach means that efficient information governance and compliance is a top priority for Information Asset Administrators and Information Asset Owners. 

CoreStream’s Information Asset Register software is designed to protect data by providing organizations with an online Information Asset Register which manages the end to end asset life cycle.

What are the risks of not having Information Asset Management software? 

The ways in which sensitive personal data or confidential business information is stored, processed and used has never been of greater concern to individuals or subjected to more rigorous scrutiny by stakeholders such as regulators and the media. 

The ever-increasing risks related to cybersecurity in our ultra-connected world mean that for the Information Asset Administrator or Information Asset Owner, there are major challenges around data protection and a growing need for robust security measures to prevent data breach. 

For both the public and private sectors, safeguarding sensitive information has, by necessity, become a top priority, with failure to do so having potentially severe consequences for business continuity and operational efficiency, as some of the world’s leading organizations have discovered to their cost. 

Cyber threats such as malware, ransomware and phishing attacks are among the common external threats to data security whilst the ability of former employees, contractors or suppliers to access data held by the organization is another concern.

CoreStream Third Party Risk Management (TPRM)

What is Third Party Risk Management Software? 

Third-party risk management (TPRM) is a form of risk management that focuses on identifying and reducing risks relating to the use of third parties, sometimes referred to as vendors, suppliers, partners, contractors, or service providers. 

Recent events, such as the global pandemic and the Ukraine invasion, highlight the huge strategic impact of third-party failures and how quickly risk strikes.  These events have helped organizations know that they need to improve the resiliency of their supply chains and critical third parties.  

Post-pandemic trends show an increase in leadership focus and investment in third party risk management, driving transformational change. Recent studies have shown this is characterized by smarter third-party segmentation, increased focus on sell-side third parties and integrated technology solutions that improve efficiency and reduce cost.  However, organizations face challenges from emerging risk domains, including geopolitical and climate change.  

Recent surveys (of more than 1,000 organizations across more than 30 countries) report that organizations have made incremental improvements to the way they manage third party relations, from an efficiency, cost effectiveness and decision-making perspective.  Hindered by functional silos and decentralized systems, they aspire to develop a more holistic and integrated approach.  

Business responsibility and social purpose is a key element of integrated business strategies.  These recent surveys note that this is demonstrated by significant growth in the level of awareness and focus on ESG in the extended enterprise, however, many organizations don’t have the formal mechanisms to assess or priorities ESG risks in their extended enterprise.  

Third Party Risk Management software supports an organization with the end-to-end management of their third party due diligence and ongoing monitoring of the risk posed by any third party. This includes the collection of information from the third party via questionnaires and the usage of external data sources that when combined enable the risk of a given third party to be scored. CoreStream’s TPRM capability has been designed to bring the latest capabilities to any organization, whatever data sources a business wants to use.   

It enables business owners, compliance and procurement teams to engage with the platform to commence a third party due diligence process with the third party interacting with the platform.  Automated data sources are leveraged with the platform facilitating the end-to-end process.  This enables the solution to automatically risk score third parties and provide recommendations to management for a final decision regarding take-on and ongoing engagement with the third party.  

What are the benefits of Third Party Risk Management Software? 

TPRM Software helps to ease the time consuming, administrative burden of performing due diligence over third-parties to determine the risk to an organisation prior to engagement of that third party. CoreStream’s capability goes further through its unique flexibility and features that enable it to meet any organization’s need.  

It enables business relationship owners and/or procurement to request a third party be set-up and based on the service being required assess the inherent risk of the third party service combination.  This enables an organisation to determine the risk of a third party based on the service they wish to procure from them.  

Based on the inherent risk profile, third party questionnaires are issued to the third parties for risk domains that pose a higher threat to determine how the third party addresses the risk, including the provision of evidence.  At the same time, third party data sources are utilised to assess sanctions risk, adverse media for the elevated risk domains and financial health of the third party.  Different levels of screening can be performed depending upon the inherent risk profile and/or the results of the first phase of screening from automated data sources.   

A risk rating is generated for each third party to enable a decision to be made regarding engaging the third party or otherwise. Mitigating actions may be required on both the organizations side and the third party, these can be agreed and tracked as part of the engagement with the third party.  

If the third party due diligence were to be performed manually, this process would be inefficient and costly.  The utilisation of a leading digital solution not only drives cost efficiencies and timely due diligence but it enables the collection of multiple data sources to assess the risk of a third party. Without this, an organisation may enter into a relationship with a third party that could cause regulatory, reputational and/or financial damage.  

What are the risks of not having Third Party Risk Management Software? 

Without TPRM software the process of performing third party due diligence is inefficient, costly and due to the time taken to perform the due diligence risks are highly likely to be missed.  This could result in an organization engaging with a third party that may create regulatory, reputational or financial damage to their business.  

Why CoreStream? 

The TPRM solution configured on the CoreStream platform leverages decades of experience in TPRM along with the intuitive and flexible nature of the platform.   There are a number of different pre-configured versions depending on your organizations approach to TPRM or we can configure the platform to your exact requirements and chosen data sources.
