Before Symbiant

From Spreadsheets to Smart GRC: How Stafford Railway Building Society Improved Risk and Compliance Management

Before moving to Symbiant, we were spreadsheet-based, which was a very manual and time-consuming process, making monitoring difficult.

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

There’s no visibility into who changed what or when, and no way to control access to sensitive data. The time lost managing spreadsheets, and the risk of regulatory fines, can cost your business far more than a purpose-built solution like Symbiant.

Custom Reports & Smart Notifications

Smarter Reporting and
Automation with Symbiant

Customised Reporting:

We use the reporting provided by Symbiant for our management meetings. We had a bespoke report made to show the changes in risk scores month by month called a ‘waterfall report’; we had this made for inherent and residual risk scores. The report makes it very clear to see any changes over the last six months.

Automated Email Notifications:

Symbiant also provides automated reminder emails; for example, it will automatically email out to risk owners, telling them their risks are due to be reviewed. Automatic email reminders mean our staff don’t have to spend time typing and sending reminders.
