Security Risk Assessment Matrix, Business Continuity Management - SearchInform

Corporate fraud

Corporate fraud often stems from low organizational management level, inadequate risk assessment and disregard
for tasks allocation and roles delimitation

Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) framework, which addresses these issues and determines key points which must accord with established standards and not affect business continuity, is created on the basis of evaluation of controls’ relevance conducted by all the specialists responsible for internal threat mitigation.

 

1 Management Controls

Employee behavior is regulated by:

Code of conduct

The code demands that a specific rule set is abided by. Each department can have its own instruction regarding safety and security. For example, if private devices are restricted in some area or access rights are limited and rigorously managed, the risk of incidents caused by improperly configured access or leakage through personal gadgets can be minimized.

 

Ethics & compliance

A company’s ethics and compliance management program is designed as a guidance facilitating conformity to the established corporate ethical norms and regulatory compliance. Among the points which are highlighted within the program there can be anti-discrimination principle, misconduct preventive measures, employee and consumer privacy rules, as well as hiring procedure and security requirements.

 

Anti-bribery policy

Anti-corruption policies are strict and clear. Businesses guard their reputation emphasizing transparency and clarity of the processes.

2 Internal Control

Segregation of Duties (SoD)

Conduct an analysis – determine who has access rights and what data is accessed.

Build a framework in accordance with which the roles and tasks will be assigned, and any allocation contradicting the rules or any deviation will be promptly detected. As soon as misassignment is identified it is easier to discern a problem and prevent a fraud. The concept of the least privilege dictates a play-safe but helpful approach.

Properly introduced and supervised SoD matrix helps you turn a fastidious and exacting job into an accurate software overseer.

SearchInform’s system facilitates SoD matrix development, detection of conflict roles and helps you map controls in order to recognize them promptly.

The correct segregation of duties eliminates threats related to excessive permissions and arbitrariness.

Segregation of duties prevents organizational conflict caused by employees who supervise their own performance
