Risk Management

Summary

Acuity Risk Management delivers effective management, prioritisation and reporting on your business risk to inform strategic decision-making and build long-term resilience. The powerful STREAM platform provides rapid time-to-value to reassure your stakeholders that organisation risk is under control and ensures that compliance with complex standards and regulations is maintained in real-time.

With STREAM the guesswork is removed which supports strategic decision-making, prioritisation of resources and justifies expenditure to maximize ROI. STREAM helps you to align your risk management framework with your business strategy.

Contextual view

Acuity’s STREAM Integrated Risk Manager brings together the data, analytics, functionality and reporting to provide the 360°, holistic contextual view across the organisation that Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) need to stand any chance of managing the huge and rapidly evolving problem of cyber security risk. 

Control centre

STREAM is a real-time control centre for the CISO, providing ‘at a glance’ status information on risks, controls and compliance, with automated risk-based prioritisation of actions and evaluation of options.  It enables CISOs to anticipate problems, keep risk within tolerance, react to events, prioritise actions and justify expenditure – and in doing so, help the business achieve its objectives. 

Rapid value

For digital business executives, Acuity’s STREAM is the straightforward system choice for understanding, measuring and managing risk across the digital business. Unlike competitors, STREAM provides fast, agile, no-code configurability delivering value within a few weeks and immediate adjustment to change. 

Multiple framework support

STREAM also allows organisations to map to multiple frameworks and standards, such as the NIST CSF in the US or the global standard ISO 27001, providing a ‘one version of the truth’ centralised approach to compliance, vendor management, risk assessments. 

Overview delivers prioritisation

With an ‘always-on’ visibility of cyber risk status on which to prioritise activities, a wide range of activities have to be completed effectively and efficiently to maintain cyber security risk within tolerance.   

Single data model

STREAM applications are all built upon the single data model, analytical tools, workflow and reporting enabling seamless, efficient integration of all applications. 

Acuity has worked very hard to handle the complexity of modelling cyber risk in a simple and intuitive way for users of the platform. STREAM is quick to implement, typically requiring just a few weeks of professional services rather than the ‘months to years’ required for some competitor solutions. 

Webforms

Engaging with businesses and third parties, Acuity Webforms can be built quickly and easily, and are completely customisable and branded. Webforms provide an intuitive and easy way for users to interact with STREAM without a STREAM license. This is ideal for those STREAM use cases in which internal users, suppliers, and other occasional users need a simple way to engage.  The range of potential use cases for Acuity Webforms is vast and includes: 

∙       Risk assessments 

∙       Logging issues, incidents, near-misses 

∙       Controls self-assessment 

∙       Supplier onboarding and assurance 

∙       Records of processing activity and DPIAs 

∙       Policy exception requests and attestations 

∙       Event Security Management 

Multiple sector success
