In today's digitalized business world, with the increasing number, complexity and speed of risks, ad hoc approaches to risk management can put risk teams under excessive workload. As a result of this situation, either high risks cannot be seen or rapid action cannot be taken with the available resources. Organizations often find it difficult to set business priorities and assign responsibility to known risks and controls. They only prepare to react when the possibilities of some risk increase. An effective risk management adopted within the organization can only be achieved by including the business units in the risk process. Unfortunately, many organizations do not take a proactive and comprehensive approach to risk management. However, there is no effective way to present the correct and complete risk view of the organization to senior management in different business silos with separate methodologies and metrics. Without an integrated framework, risks cannot be managed consistently within the risk appetite of organizations.

With RSA Archer^®, you get a holistic and clear risk management methodology that allows you to prioritize risks, use resources efficiently to address the most critical issues, and make a difference in risk management as a competitive advantage. The first step of providing an accurate and comprehensive risk view to Senior Management is to create a central repository for risk and control related data. By incorporating your business units into risk management practices, you will make this approach a corporate culture and increase your ability to access consistent information about known and potential risks more easily, thus strengthening the effectiveness of your risk management program. The ultimate goal is to reduce the effects and possibilities of adverse events, to evaluate the opportunities encountered and to increase the probability of reaching your corporate goals, thus maximizing the performance of your business.
