Technology Innovator in IT GRC Management
Executive Summary
When organizations approach IT GRC in scattered risk assessments that lack consistency in measurement and reporting there is no possibility to be intelligent about IT GRC decisions that impact the broader organizations and its operations. Organizations need an IT GRC risk management function that delivers consistency and agility in risk measurement. Managing risk is a unique process because every business is different. There are some general risk management activities companies must do, but once they get down to the detail level, companies often employ their own risk calculations. To date, this has been very complex for GRC solutions to solve. Most platforms easily permit users to create complex multi-calculation formulas (calc on calc), but order of operations in these formulas are not consistently enforced. This means users often receive the wrong risk results and different users and departments have varying, conflicting, and non-consistent approaches. Risk measurement then becomes subjective and the organization compares apples to oranges. Lockpath has solved the problem majority of GRC users experience in the marketplace with the re-engineered, patent pending, Keylight Formula Engine. In this context, GRC 20/20 has recognized Lockpath Keylight Formula Engine with a 2017 GRC Innovation Award for the best innovation in IT GRC Management.
