BEDFORD, Mass., June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- Designed to address risk with a broad offering of use cases
based on risk type as well as level of maturity for an
organization's Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) efforts
- Helps organizations to merge management of cyber and business
risk into one cohesive approach
- Engineered to include enhanced user experience to more fully
engage business users in the organization's risk management
program
RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE: EMC), today announced
the latest version of the RSA Archer® Suite to inspire
everyone within an organization to own risk and develop successful
risk and compliance programs. New use case packaging offered by RSA
Archer technology is designed to allow organizations to address
their specific GRC needs and challenges, regardless of size or GRC
maturity level. The platform also introduced new features and
functions to include and better engage all business users in risk
management programs.
Not all organizations have the same risk and compliance needs or
level of GRC maturity. Today, it is common for an organization that
is just beginning to implement its GRC program to have more basic
needs and systems, while another organization may have more mature
processes in place and require more complex solutions.
Organizations can now take command of their own GRC maturity
journeys through the RSA Archer suite's broad range of integrated
GRC use cases to start small, seek quick wins, and strategically
implement risk and compliance programs.
With seven solution areas featuring new or updated risk and
compliance use cases, RSA Archer GRC is designed to empower users
to manage IT & security risk, financial controls, regulatory
compliance, business resiliency, third-party risk and operational
and enterprise risk. The use cases are built based on
industry standards and best practices to kick-start an effective
GRC program efficiently. Use Cases include a wide range of
GRC processes from foundational elements such as Issues Management
and Business Impact Analysis to more advanced use cases such as
Operational Risk Management and Third Party Governance.
The use cases accelerate GRC programs through out-of-the-box
best practices and can be incrementally expanded as an
organization's risk and compliance needs grow.
This latest version of RSA Archer GRC also introduces a new
"look and feel" for all solutions, providing an enhanced user
experience designed to more fully engage business users in the
organization's risk management program. New features include a
walk-up friendly, task-driven user interface, drag-and-drop
advanced workflow capabilities, an upgraded interface, and advanced
workflow configuration options.
Availability
The latest version of RSA Archer is now available for on-premise
installations. It will be available to customers utilizing RSA
Hosting Services beginning in Q3 2016.
