SIMPLERISK GRC PLATFORM FOR PUBLIC UTILITIES

A Governance, Risk Management and Compliance (GRC) platform that helps manage risk and compliance in public utilities.

What is SimpleRisk?

SimpleRisk is an enterprise grade Governance, Risk Management and Compliance platform designed to be simple and intuitive, enabling organizations to promote widespread adoption among both security practitioners and business stakeholders alike. SimpleRisk has gained a reputation for delivering a simple, effective and affordable GRC solution that ensures customers will benefit from the repeatable, scalable and sustainable processes that are the foundation of any successful GRC program. With SimpleRisk, you’re able to identify, rank, monitor and track risks through their mitigation life cycle and continually measure the progress of your cybersecurity program.

How does SimpleRisk simplify regulatory compliance in public utilities?

As a fully featured GRC Platform, SimpleRisk provides public utility organizations with the ability to:

  • Document policies and procedures
  • Maintain an inventory of assets
  • Manage risks and audit processes
  • Perform internal and third party risk assessments
  • Demonstrate regulatory compliance

SimpleRisk can be used to satisfy regulatory compliance and map controls to virtually any framework. We offer mappings for frameworks such as NERC CIP and the CIS Critical Security Controls. Each of these frameworks contain controls that map directly to them, and with SimpleRisk, you can easily establish a repeatable cadence to test and track your mitigation efforts. This helps to continually ensure that the controls are in place to satisfy compliance for all of your policies, guidelines, standards and procedures.

 

In addition, our risk management solution is based on the NIST 800-30 framework and this fully satisfies the requirements for a formal risk assessment and management process. Our risk assessment functionality includes built-in workflows allowing users to send HIPAA-specific questionnaires to recipients and will automatically create pending risks depending on their responses.

 

The same process used to satisfy NERC CIP compliance can be accomplished with virtually any framework in SimpleRisk, including many that are widely used in the public utilities industry such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, PCI DSS, CIS Critical Security Controls, COBIT and more! In addition, country-specific and proprietary frameworks and controls that require licensing can be automatically imported into SimpleRisk.
