Client feedback

From Spreadsheets to Smart GRC: How ALD Automotive Improved Risk and Audit Management

” The Symbiant system is very well designed and user friendly. We were able to roll the system out to 1LOD and engage our colleagues in the risk process without compromising on the control or auditability of risk data. The Symbiant team were very helpful & collaborative when adapting the system to meet our specific needs.

Spreadsheets are inefficient, error-prone, and time-consuming. They lack ownership, accountability, workflows, and audit trails, making accurate, secure GRC management nearly impossible.

With Symbiant’s connected risk modules, ALD Automotive gained a streamlined, cost-effective, easy to use system that empowered both 1LOD and 2LOD teams, improved oversight, and delivered real results across risks, controls, incidents, and actions.

Symbiant Risk Management & Audit Modules in Action

How ALD Automotive Streamlined Risk, Controls, Action Tracking, Reviews, and Incident Management with Symbiant’s User-Friendly GRC and Audit Management Software

”We started using Symbiant in 2021, we used risk, controls, action tracking, reviews, incidents. The action tracking capability was excellent. Our 1LOD teams could add progress updates but not amend any action details. Our 2LOD teams could filter on & download the reports they needed. The incident management module made it very easy for 1LOD to report an incident. The format was very user friendly. We also had fields only visible for the 2LOD teams.”

CLIENT FEEDBACK — ALD AUTOMOTIVE

Smarter Risk Management and Reporting with Symbiant's Affordable, Award-Winning, agile GRC and Audit Management Software

Before adopting Symbiant, ALD Automotive struggled with costly, inefficient systems and spreadsheet-based risk tracking. By moving to Symbiant’s connected GRC, Risk Management and Audit platform, they streamlined processes, reduced duplication, and enabled quick, tailored reporting that supports both first and second line teams.

[Symbiant GRC, Risk Management and Audit Software] streamlined the process, reduced the number of tools in use and manual excel/word forms and duplication. Reporting is quick and easy – reports can be tailored to meet your design needs.”

Our previous risk system had very limited functionality, was very difficult to use and was expensive. The previous risk system did not keep an audit trail of changes so it was impossible to stay aware of changing risks/incidents. We used excel sheets to track risk actions – this was very difficult to use/keep up to date. The reporting was manual, inefficient and error prone.
