Risk Tools
RiskBusiness offers a series of web-based risk management tools that address specific data processing and platform needs within client firms, from data collection and reporting to full risk programme implementation. In some cases, these tools are highly similar to those used in RiskBusiness Content and Data Service offerings, but they also may be utilised by client firms on an independent basis. They are designed to be used alone or, as requirements dictate, as an integrated suite of applications.
Risk Profiling Service
This flexible profiling tool allows users to create graphic representations of their operational risk exposures, based on business functions/processes, risk categories and, if required, product/service groups, all as defined in the organisation's taxonomy library. Rating scales may be customised, and high-level risk profiles can be generated by aggregating lower level-risk profiles. [More]
RCSA Service
This robust service supports the roll-out and administration of a broad range of customised Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) initiatives. Features include the capability to designate specific assessment units within the firm, to incorporate structured taxonomy elements (risk and control types, etc.), whether standard or user-defined, to specify risk measurement variables, and to create customised routines for data aggregation and reporting. The application both manages programme design parameters and stores actual assessment data (produced in workshops, etc.). The Service is fully integrated with the RiskBusiness Taxonomy. [More]
Internal Loss Data Service
This full-service, cost-effective platform allows users to develop and operate simple, yet sophisticated internal loss event data collection processes. Based on industry standard loss event data models, the Internal Loss Data Service provides extensive flexibility, e.g., to include non-Basel event and impact types (such as "near misses," opportunity costs, operationally driven credit losses, etc.). The Service is fully integrated with the RiskBusiness Taxonomy and with the Loss Data Consortium Service and has extensions for loss data translations and reclassifications. [More]
KRI Monitoring Service
This flexible tool allows subscribers to select and track specific risk indicators, with customised thresholds for alerts and escalation triggers. The tool may be used at any business level to collect or import indicator values over time, assessing the collected values against thresholds and triggers to provide a broad range of alerts and reports. [More]
Internal Audit Service
This Service is designed to support a risk-based audit programme, leveraging the structural features of the RiskBusiness Taxonomy. It allows for the creation of audit reports, with associated findings and aids the management and workflow of open/unresolved reports. Business managers may record their responses to particular audit findings, and register action plans to correct cited deficiencies. Audit findings may be linked to specific operational risk variables, such as business function/process and risk and control types, or to individual risk points in the applicable business's risk profile. [more]
Process and Compliance Service
This special-purpose service allows firms to create detailed business process maps, complete with associated risks, controls, systems linkages, KRI triggers and job functions, all defined in accordance with the firm's structured taxonomy. Within each process, a business may document the details of its business continuity plan, as well as compliance requirements, insourcing/outsourcing arrangements, scheduling, and detailed policies and procedures. The Service allows the incorporation of data from other tools (e.g., Internal Audit, KRI Monitoring, Internal Loss Data, etc.). [more]
Data Management Service
This diagnostic service allows firms to apply data quality tests to their existing internal risk event data, to identify classification inconsistencies and to implement amendments in a controlled and audited manner. The Service can also be used to enrich your existing data sets where your classification taxonomy changes or evolves. It provides an ideal mechanism for periodic compliance reviews and managing actions arising from such reviews.[more]
Scenario Assessment Service
Scenario assessment and analysis is a mechanism which allows an organisation to tap into the wealth of knowledge which resides within their senior management, in support of a holistic approach to enterprise-wide risk identification, risk assessment and risk management. across all risk disciplines. Scenario workshops are invaluable in building risk awareness, including a greater understanding of the interplay between risks. They are also a potential source of data to enhance risk quantification models, by compensating for a lack of loss data, or by incorporating a more ‘forward-looking’ element to loss history. Additionally, they can be a tool to enhance emergency preparedness, including the identification of the need for new controls, reporting or KRI monitoring.[more]
These tools are supported by a range of specific functionality relative to action plans, audit findings, workflow structures, access controls and audit trails, available as part of a comprehensive service offering suite. All RiskBusiness tools and platforms are accompanied by a detailed Software Development Kit which facilitates easy integration into a firm's core systems.

RiskBusiness also offers, in conjunction with our strategic partners and alliances, various additional tools covering areas such as Scenario Analysis, Capital Estimation and Capital Allocation.
