Make vendor risk measurable

Configure and automate vendor risk assessments tailored to your business. Use privacy impact assessments (PIAs) to evaluate how vendors process personal data, ensure alignment with regulatory obligations, and monitor critical dependencies that sit beyond your Data Trust Boundary (DTB).

Interactive dashboards offer a clear view of vendor performance and risk exposure, while tailored mitigation plans help you respond effectively and align resources and budgets where they matter most.

Case: Leading UK Based Investment Manager

Case: Leading Global Financial Services Firm

Case: Major Global Banking Institution

A leading UK based Investment Manager with over £22Bn in funds under management implemented Aryza Unite and migrated from another GRC supplier. The migration was carried out seamlessly with minimal to zero disruption.

The firm is using the Aryza Unite widely within the organisation and utilise the functionality for a large number of GRC activities.

These include:

Reporting and escalation of dealing errors using the Incident Management functionality
Compliance Monitoring
Compliance Thematic Reviews
Compliance Breaches
Internal Audit Reporting
Regulatory Horizon Scanning
Policy Exception
Product and Service Reviews
Third Party SLA Breaches
Data Breach Analysis and Escalation
Risk and Control Testing

This deployment demonstrates the wide potential of Aryza Unite to provide significant value across a wide spectrum of GRC activities and showcases the deep functionality and flexibility inherent in the system.

Despite the challenges of a rapidly changing regulatory environment, a leading global financial services firm has successfully implemented Aryza Unite, migrating from their legacy GRC system.

The firm identified a clear opportunity to enhance their GRC processes to meet more stringent regulatory requirements while improving operational efficiency. The Aryza system and team were chosen as they wanted to implement a market-leading and dynamic platform supporting a diverse range of GRC activities including incident management, risk and control assessments, key risk indicators, compliance and policy management.

The system needed to deliver more efficient risk management with effective and consistent risk assessment and reporting capabilities to support the firm’s operations across multiple jurisdictions. Utilizing its experienced team of GRC experts, coupled with its unique mix of modern, adaptable software, Aryza delivered a phased approach to implementing an enterprise-wide solution that automated processes, eliminated silos, and improved ease of use and efficiency.

The platform has led to significant improvements in incident management, risk assessment quality, and reporting capabilities, enabling the firm to respond more effectively to regulatory requirements

A major global banking institution with operations in over 30 countries implemented Aryza Unite to standardize their risk management approach across all regions. The company needed a solution that could accommodate varying regulatory requirements while providing consolidated group-level reporting.

The initial scope of the project was to implement the Risk and Control Assessment (RACA) module to create consistency in how operational risks were assessed across the organization. We delivered a configurable RACA process that allowed for local customization while maintaining group-wide standards. The system’s flexibility enabled the company to apply different risk assessment matrices for different business units while rolling up to consistent group reporting.

Following the successful implementation of the RACA module, the company expanded the implementation to include incident management, key risk indicators, and action tracking. The integrated nature of our solution allowed for automatic linkage between incidents, risks, and controls, providing a comprehensive view of the risk landscape.

The incident management functionality was particularly impactful as the wide and diverse nature of the group meant that reporting of incidents was unstructured and difficult to quantify and track.

The implemented system was transformational and enabled a centralised view of incidents, with rapid response times and features such as root cause analysis and automated action plans
