Standardizing your process for Controls Performance Verification is an important
step in maturing your risk management processes and staying in compliance. This
step alone is not enough for entities that need to address hundreds or thousands
of controls on an ongoing basis. When the process depends too heavily on siloed
operations with manual methodologies, even if standardized, we find that gaps and
duplication of efforts both exist. Records are diffi cult to consolidate and deadlines
are missed. Inefficiencies abound which strain budgets and reduce visibility.
