What’s worse is you need to round up help from your co-workers because trying to manage compliance on your own isn’t working, but even that is easier said than done. Now you’re stuck with this overwhelming task, and the stacks of regulations just keep piling up.

Robotic Process Automation 

In addition to rising requirements of manpower and cost results organizations were slow, manual processes that opened opportunities for inaccuracy and error, impediments to business performance, increased business risk exposures, and difficulty in responding to auditors, regulators, and partner requirements. Some of the challenges included:

  • Lack of ability to respond to change in regulation, technology, business, partners
  • Human error
  • No single source of truth
  • No accountability
  • Complexity
  • No clear view of GRC

Allgress has addressed many of those capabilities in the newest release and continues to addressing these and other customer’s challenges by automating more of the entire end-to-end Integrated Risk Management (IRM) process with customizable logic and dashboards focused on the function of the user and robotic process automation using API’s, bots, machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Identify Compliance Deficiencies 

The requirements for accountability, more oversight, and identifying business risk quicker are accelerating with new regulations, security breaches, partner requirements, fines, & reporting to target stakeholders virtually impossible. That lead to the introduction of automated Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) solutions.

Allgress’ goal when developing its solution was to overcome and reduce the complexity of these other solutions that introduced more complexity. To achieve that, the company introduced easy-to-use automated solutions with a common integrated approach that provides quick-time-to-value for all aspects of risk and compliance management enabling multiple people to work off the same data from identification to taking necessary action in less time, complexity & cost.

The solution is delivered ready to start providing a continuous picture of their risk and compliance posture for an entire organization to an individual department with minimal set-up. An organization can typically start correlating technical, procedural, and operational control information from multiple data sources and/or a traditional assessment against one or more policies then produce visual reports for different audiences within a “week or so”. With Allgress, customers can converge disparate enterprise risk silos to gain an immediate, intuitive and unified view of their organization’s risk & compliance posture that translates that data into the language of business to reduce business risk.
