EliteGRC

With a growing regulatory oversight, the corporate legal department and General Counsel are under tremendous pressure to manage and coordinate compliance with a spate of legal mandates such as Antitrust Laws, Employee Health and Safety Laws, Anti-money laundering Laws, Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) monetary policies, Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) insurance acts, Capital Markets Authority, etc. At the same time, increasing lawsuits and harmful litigations have raised the need for continuous monitoring and mitigation of legal risks such as contractual, regulatory, and employment risks.

The main challenge for the legal department lies in collaborating legal risk and compliance activities with various other departments across the enterprise. Managing these activities in the traditional siloed or ad hoc manner only leads to redundancies, inefficiency, and high costs. Besides, it limits the visibility that the in-house legal team has into the legal and compliance status of the entire organization. Cross-enterprise visibility is important for the in-house legal team to lead critical decision-making processes, and help organizations weather the coming regulatory storm.

EliteGRC helps enterprises confidently meet internal and external legal requirements while effectively managing risk. EliteGRC offers role-based solutions for Risk Management, Internal Audit, Internal Control, Compliance, Information Security, Business Continuity Management, and Third-Party Risk Management. Departments across an organization are able to work from one common risk taxonomy, focused on business objectives with a common language. EliteGRC makes it easier for companies to identify, understand, measure, and manage key organizational risks and compliance issues on a holistic level. Operations teams within an organization utilize EliteGRC software to maintain the integrity of their company and avoid scenarios such as lawsuits, investigations, and injuries.
