Risk Management
STREAM is very easy-to-use yet provides valuable business information about your risk status. You can see at a
glance where current levels of residual risk exceed tolerance and risk appetite.
Managers with responsibility for different business units can easily track the material risks to their business objectives
and the risk responses. This information is instantly available Enterprise-wide (subject to user permissions) providing
aggregate views and comparison across the business.
You can define your own risk assessment schemes for
different types of risk, such as Confidentiality, Integrity,
Availability (CIA) for information risks.
Risk Registers display all of the material risks relating to a
specific business unit, line of business, process, system,
application or project.
Risk Registers can be aggregated to a regional, business area,
technical, programme or other grouping and from there to the
Enterprise level.
You can drill down to see mitigating controls.
You can track the health of important risk
mitigating controls and see how the
performance of these controls affects
residual risk status.
Actions can be raised, allocated to
owners and their status tracked through
the STREAM workflow.
Risk Reporting
STREAM can analyse data from both real-time feeds and user inputs to provide easy to use, real-time management
dashboards and reports. Risk - related reports include Top 10 risks, Residual Risk Summary, Risk History, Risk
Treatment Report and Return-on-Investment, plus drillable Risk Registers with comparison against Risk Appetite.

Compliance Management
You can use easily configure STREAM with control standards and then measure and report on your compliance
status. Compliance data can be input to STREAM directly by users, via off-line questionnaires or imported from
feeder applications.
Users can raise and allocate improvement actions and track the status of these using
STREAM workflow. By integrating compliance management and risk management, STREAM allows you see how
your compliance status influences your risk status - with weak compliance for critical assets resulting in high levels
of residual risk. You can record incidents and near-misses and link these to risks and controls, raising improvement
actions as necessary.
An optional Control
Approver role allows
control assessments to be
independently verified and
approved.
STREAM workflow keeps
track of when assessments
and approvals are due.
Actions can be raised
against risks, controls and
events and allocated to
Owners.
STREAM workflow alerts
action owners and reminds
them when target dates are
approaching.
As improvement actions are completed, compliance assessments can be updated and new compliance and
associated risk status reports and dashboards are instantly available.
Compliance Reporting
STREAM can analyse data from both real-time feeds and user inputs to provide easy to use real-time management
dashboards and reports. Compliance - related reports include Control Status, Control History, Statement of
Applicability, Control Approval Status, Incident Status, Action Status plus drillable dashboards and
Control Assessment screens filtered by controls that you own, assess or approve. Data can be exported to MS
Excel for further analysis or reporting.
