Providing 360° Contextual Awareness of Risk

Gone are the years of simplicity in business operations. Exponential growth and change in risks, regulations, globalization, distributed operations, projects, strategy, processes, competitive velocity, technology, and business data encumbers organizations of all sizes. Keeping this complexity and change in sync is a significant challenge for boards, executives, as well as risk management professionals throughout the business. Organizations are best served to take an approach to risk management that allows different projects, processes, and departments to have their view of risk that can roll into enterprise and operational risk management and reporting. This is done through a common information and technology architecture to support overall risk management activities from the project level up through an enterprise view. Sword Active Risk, a part of the Sword Group, is a risk management software solution provider that GRC 20/20 has researched, evaluated, and reviewed with organizations that are using it in complex, distributed, and dynamic business environments. Sword Active Risk delivers one of the most robust and advanced management solutions in ARM (Active Risk Manager) available to organizations. Unlike most risk management solutions available in the market that are focused on the blocking and tackling of tactical risk management needs, Sword Active Risk is focused on providing a risk management solution that provides a strategic approach to optimize risk taking, mitigate unnecessary risk, and maximize business performance.
