Operational Risk Management

Gain real-time visibility into risk, improve business decisions, and increase productivity
Risk control self-assessment via manual or automated assessments.

Risk control self-assessment (RCSA)

Evaluate inherent risk, the effectiveness of the control environment, and residual risk through manual or automated risk assessments.

A top-down and bottom-up perspective of risk

Control assurance/testing

Via risk assessments, employees at all levels can identify and evaluate the operational effectiveness of associated controls for a top‑down and bottom‑up perspective of risk.

Use indicators to identify noncompliant controls and monitor high-risk areas

Key risk and control indicators

Identify noncompliant controls and monitor high‑risk areas. Then use your results to create issues for controls and provide supporting information for audit activities.

Monitor loss events and more

Risk events

Track not only traditional loss events, but other losses such as personnel, IT assets, IP, and more that can’t be defined in a general ledger but must be quantified.

Interactive dashboards use ServiceNow Performance Analytics

Integrated analytics

Interactive dashboards use ServiceNow® Performance Analytics for fine‑grained filtering and reporting of granular risks that can be rolled up to the enterprise level.

Additional Operational Risk Management features

Risk and controls taxonomy
A common language and business context for a consistent method to analyse the impact of risk across the various departments and functions.

Integrated issues management
A consistent process for automatically creating and responding to issues reduces remediation time—from days to just minutes.

Assess any object within ServiceNow
Perform an overall risk assessment on any object—such as change management request, location, regulation—without representing it as an entity in GRC. This helps organisations that cannot identify or assess risks individually.
