Are your controls still aimed at the risk you have today?

Three controls are testing for a risk that has moved, one risk has no coverage, and this control has been effective for four periods, here is the coverage map.

Business outcomes

  • A coverage map rather than separate documents, traceable from risk to control to evidence
  • Misdirected controls found, controls passing their test for a risk the organisation has moved past
  • Gaps found, risks with no control currently covering them
  • Testing results and issues linked to the risks they concern, not catalogued separately
  • The committee brief assembled rather than authored under pressure, each period

Measured on

  • Risk-to-control traceability coverage
  • Open issues with evidence of remediation action
  • Coverage gap closure time
  • Assurance pack production time

What PATRICIA does alone, and what stays with your team
