The risk management process at our organization is driven from the top. The board and executive team are aligned with risks we as a company are exposed to and what are the steps we are taking to mitigate or minimize them. The goals and targets are set for various key functions and stakeholders involved to manage risks. The scope of RSA Archer is not just limited to one or two departments, it is being used by the entire organization. We are a highly compliance driven organization who deals with sensitive data of our clients across variety of industries globally. We are also exposed to multiple checks and reviews based on various standards, regulations and contracts throughout the year. Hence governance, risk and compliance is a mission-critical to our business strategy. RSA Archer helps us manage it effectively across the organization.

This software allows us to track our audit finding remediation and complete questionnaires during our financial reporting process. It is administered and was selected by our internal audit group for their primary needs of finding remediation. They offered its use to Finance (no additional cost), for us to complete our financial reporting questionnaires and certifications with our controllers and functional leaders. It solves the business problem of approval workflow for our international footprint. I can’t speak much to the ROI, but can say that the accuracy and audit trail has improved.

RSA Archer is being used by four major departments in the organization which require compliance and governance. It manages routine tasks, client profile creation, policy management, etc. It is a tool to adhere to compliance and e-governance in the organization. The tool is not built for small scale companies and, in my opinion, mammoth firms can achieve great benefits from this.

We use Archer to manage vendor relationships, vendor contacts, vendor contracts, risk/policy exceptions, and various other vendor risk uses. It is used enterprise-wide and is a key part of doing any work with a third party. We have used different versions of RSA Archer over the years and the team is trying to get the application to the most current platform/release.

In my own organization RSA Archer is used to manage Security operations center, manage the organizational assets, their Risk and compliance assessments. It is being used by departments reporting to the CISO The business problems that it helps solve is to monitor and implement controls against cyber attack’s and threats. The SecOps module of Archer helps with integrating with all sources of security alerts and incidents affecting the organizational assets, remediation activities required to prevent, detect and react to incidents impacting security (confidentiality, integrity availability) and thereby having the up-to-date information on the security posture of the organization

RSA Archer will be implemented enterprise wide. There are several key obligations to meet, that are driving the business need to manage information security risks, legal and regulatory and contractual compliance.

  • Meet external legal and regulatory and contractual information security and compliance requirements across all business units and in the more than 29 countries.
  • Meet internal company policies and audit requirements for business process and technology improvement.
  • Manage contractual third-party risks due to subcontractors and/or commercial vendors.
  • Demand for security governance, risk and compliance services that cannot be met today.

As an Archer consultant, I work with many different types of organizations who are deploying Archer for the first time, or are looking to build upon its capabilities. I have seen instances where it is leveraged both organization wide, or just for a particular department. Archer excels at introducing efficiency to any type of business process, from managing enterprise risk, to tracking non-IT incidents, to implementing a robust vulnerability management program.
