Definition

What is CRISAM® for financial services?

CRISAM® for financial services is a governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform with a built-in information security management system. It evaluates your entire IT — from application to servers to power supply — against the state of the art using numerous knowledge packs, gives comprehensible support in balancing investment and residual risk, provides the EBA ICT requirements under the SREP as cyclically updated content, delivers ISO 27001 compliance at the push of a button, and calculates IT risk using the scientifically proven CRISAM® method. Available as SaaS or on-premise.

  • Set up and develop a full ISMS — IT models, reports, dashboards and stakeholder workflows in one place
  • EBA ICT/SREP content available and updated cyclically, with an EBA ICT Compliance Report and ISO 27001 at the push of a button
  • Scientifically proven CRISAM® method with multi-compliance mapping to evidence FCA & PRA, DORA and UK GDPR obligations

What threats does the use of IT pose to the company?

Digital business models concentrate risk in IT. The first question is which threats that exposure creates and what they could cost the business.

How much IT does the company really need?

Investment must be balanced against residual risk. The second question is how much IT and how much security the business actually requires.

How secure is IT?

Regulators and boards want evidence, not opinion. The third question is how secure the IT really is — answered comprehensibly and transparently.

In financial services, IT is the business & the risk

How CRISAM® solves it

One integrated management system for IT risk in finance

The scientifically proven CRISAM® method

Risk is calculated, not estimated. Reproducible results instead of subjective scoring — a method that holds in audit.

EBA ICT/SREP content & ISO 27001 at the push of a button

The EBA ICT requirements under the SREP are available as content and updated cyclically, with an EBA ICT Compliance Report — and ISO 27001 compliance at the push of a button.

ISMS, reports, dashboard & workflows

The IT models you measure risk and impact against, the report to inform decision-makers, the dashboard to visualise and monitor the process, and the workflow to communicate with stakeholders — plus WebAccess and workflows.

Evaluates your entire IT estate

From application to servers to power supply, CRISAM® assesses your IT against the state of the art using numerous knowledge packs — drawing on BSI IT-Grundschutz, the ISO 27000 series, ITIL and COBIT.

Multi-compliance mapping for FCA & PRA, DORA & UK GDPR

Answer a control requirement once and evidence it across several frameworks — so the same ISMS work supports your ISO standards and your operational-resilience and data-protection reporting.

Cost-benefit analysis & configurable by users

A Return on Security Invest cost-benefit analysis weighs security spend against risk cost — and you can configure CRISAM® as a user, without a software specialist.

The EBA ICT/SREP content is a genuine, cyclically updated content pack. UK obligations — FCA & PRA operational resilience (PS21/3), Bank of England oversight, the EU DORA for firms with EU operations, and UK GDPR — are supported via CRISAM®’s multi-compliance mapping rather than shipped as UK-specific content packs.

In practice

CRISAM® evaluates your entire IT landscape and shows what to fix first

With numerous knowledge packs, CRISAM® assesses everything from applications to servers to power supply against the state of the art. The compliance mappings in the content libraries let you serve different internal and external auditors in their own “language”, saving time and money in audit preparation. Integrated analysis tools show immediately where the greatest need for action is and which measure reduces the overall risk most.

Prefabricated, configurable reports and your dashboard make all recorded data, results and analyses available transparently for different recipient groups — information security officers, business-unit heads, executive management and auditors — while workflows keep stakeholders informed.
