Connect. Assess. Improve.
Risk Controls and Policies Software That Connects the Dots Across Your GRC Framework
Gain full oversight of your controls by linking them to risks, incidents, and policies. With flexible assessments, real-time deactivation, and deep reporting capabilities, Symbiant empowers you to identify what’s working, fix what’s not, and maintain a resilient control environment backed by data.
Complete Control Visibility
The Symbiant Controls and Policies module gives you a centralised space to manage and assess all your organisation’s internal controls and policies.
As with all Symbiant modules, the layout is fully customisable to suit your specific requirements.
You can mark controls as Key or Active, with built-in logic that automatically deactivates a control if it fails an assessment, keeping your risk data current and accurate.
Create Meaningful Connections
Easily view which risks a control links to, and whether it reduces their impact or likelihood. You can also see any incidents linked to a control, giving you vital context when reviewing or updating its status.
All related documents and policies can be attached directly to the control for full traceability.
Test Controls with Automated Assessments
Control Effectiveness Reporting
By linking controls to your risks, you unlock the Control Effectiveness Report, which highlights your most valuable controls and quantifies how much risk reduction each one provides. This insight helps determine which controls offer the most impact and where improvements are needed.
Log Reviews and Assign Remedial Actions
The module allows you to log control reviews and create follow-up remedial actions. Assign tasks with due dates, and let assignees update progress and attach supporting documents. Everything is tracked, improving accountability and transparency.
Symbiant supports Risk and Control Self-Assessments (RCSA), enabling you to monitor both key and sub-controls in real time. Use interactive dashboards and email notifications to stay on top of assessments. By linking controls to risks, you gain real-time visibility into your organisation’s risk exposure.
