Executive Summary

The Ministry sought to modernize its risk management framework to enhance efficiency and decision-making. IYCON partnered with then to deploy Wizsm to implement a custom Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Risks Management Module. This solution built around Wizsm, automated critical workflows and centralized risk data, providing the ministry with real-time insights and a unified platform for strategic risk oversight.

The Challenge

Prior to this project, the ministry's risk management processes were fragmented and inefficient. The organization faced challenges with manual documentation, assessment, and reporting of risks. This decentralized approach led to delays in data collection and a lack of real-time visibility, making it difficult to analyze and treat non-conformities and risks effectively. There was a critical need for a centralized, digital solution to streamline information and ensure alignment across various departments, including Risks Management and Internal Controls.

The IYCON Solution

IYCON's team deployed and configured Wizsm to provide a comprehensive GRC Risks Management Module tailored to the ministry’s specific business requirements. The solution digitized all key aspects of the risk management life cycle, from identification and assessment to reporting and treatment.

• Automated Workflows: The system introduced structured workflows to manage the full risk lifecycle, replacing manual documentation and data entry.
• Centralized Risk Repository: A single platform was established to store all risk-related information, ensuring data consistency and a unified source of truth.
• Advanced Reporting and Visualization: The module enabled the generation of real-time, multi-analysis reports and dashboards, providing leadership with immediate insights.
• Cross-Functional Integration: The solution was designed to streamline the flow of information among Risks Management, Internal Controls, and other cross-functional units, fostering greater collaboration.

Implementation & Collaboration

The project focused on a phased implementation approach, carefully prioritizing the deployment of core functionalities for risk management and ensuring a smooth transition for all end-users. The initial phase began with intensive, joint workshops where the IYCON team worked directly with ministry subject matter experts to conduct an in-depth analysis of existing manual processes, documentation, and specific risk assessment requirements. This close collaboration was crucial for accurately customizing the central GRC platform and ensuring it precisely mapped to the ministry's non-conformity analysis and regulatory standards.

A key deliverable in this phase was the creation of a comprehensive user manual, meticulously designed for all user levels, which reflected the shared understanding of the new system’s navigation and core functions.The implementation of the GRC Risk Management (RM) Module has fundamentally transformed the ministry’s risk management and internal controls capabilities. By automating and centralizing previously manual and fragmented processes, the solution has enabled a more efficient, proactive, and data-driven approach to governance.

The platform provides a single source of truth for all risks and non-conformities, significantly boosting the ministry's ability to identify, assess, treat, and monitor operational, strategic, and compliance risks in real-time. This ensures tighter adherence to regulatory standards and establishes a robust framework for sustained organizational resilience.
