A Next-Generation ERM and GRC System for Market Leaders
Horus is an integrated Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) software solution combining cutting-edge technology with the latest international best practices. Horus synthesizes your organisation’s data and processes on a single platform providing unity across all organisational levels and business units. With systems to align every corner of the business towards achieving your organisational objectives and easy access to critical information at your fingertips, gain the ability to adopt a strategic ERM GRC approach to drive strategy, performance and long-term value creation.
An Objective-Centric Approach to Risk
Horus has been designed with the principles of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) in mind, with the aim of supporting organisations in the coordination and management of their Governance, Risk, and Compliance practices in order to create and protect value; achieve organizational sustainability, agility, and resilience; and drive performance to achieve organizational objectives in line with the vision and mission of the organisation.
Unlike most other software on the market, Horus utilises an objective-centric approach in line with international standards, including COSO ERM:2017 and ISO 31000:2018. Horus promotes having a shared language enterprise-wide and allows for greater flexibility as the management of risk can be centralized around objectives as opposed to being limited to individual risk events or a fixed risk taxonomy. Horus has been designed to effectively facilitate the achievement of strategic alignment for your organisation by simplifying the process of goals and objectives harmonisation through a tailor made framework to simplify your workflow and streamline your ERM processes. By centring around the achievement of strategic objectives and improving the quality of decision making, the Horus system improves the efficiency of processes and enables the harmonisation of efforts across all organisational levels and business units.
Creating and Protecting Value
Horus provides you with the necessary tools to create an effective ERM framework that doubles as a decision-making tool for strategy, corporate governance, compliance, and business continuity management. In turn, this enables management to move from merely value preservation and financial controls to supporting value creation activities through a framework that enables you to recognize risk as opportunity.
In many large corporations with wide-ranging risk complexities, an inflexible system for identifying and managing risk creates processes that are discordant with the actual activities and objectives that preserve or create value for the organisation. Horus has been designed to assist in addressing the complex and resource-intensive process of aligning these processes with your organisational objectives to enable you to achieve strategic alignment within your organisation.
Our comprehensive GRC solution overcomes the diseconomies of scale that often arise due to the management of various governance, risk, and compliance initiatives in silos. The use of our integrated GRC solution avoids the confusion that multiple discrete solutions create and eliminates the associated duplication of work, cost inefficiencies and contradictory processes. As a result, Horus can enable your organisation to increase efficiency, reduce cost and provide a unified system for all your governance, risk and compliance needs.
Organisational Agility & Resilience
A lean, flexible framework and an approach of continuous improvement are built into the Horus system. We recognise that disruption occurs often, requiring ad-hoc decision making in response to time sensitive issues or changing needs. This paradigm highlights the need for a framework that is flexible, agile, and adaptable. The rapidly evolving business environment has driven organisations to adopt new information technology systems to facilitate their digital transformation in response. Horus is uniquely placed to enable this transition by enabling the automation of various reporting functions and improving the availability of information.
Our industry leading approach is particularly well suited to enabling your organisation to identify and manage emerging risks that are often not addressed in a timely manner. The Horus platform incorporates a full suite of features for anticipating and responding to disruption, including diagnostics, internal controls, monitoring and reporting tools. These tools improve the resilience of your organisation by enabling you to rapidly assess threats and take advantage of the opportunities they may create.
The wide range of reports and dashboards Horus provides can easily be generated using our automated system improving the speed with which information can be made available to decision makers. Our approach converts risk information into measurable metrics in real time to provide actionable information for senior executives and boards to make smart, strategic decisions anchored by hard data to withstand disruption and outlast the competition.
Driving Performance
Compiling information and synthesizing it into reports is a tedious but necessary aspect of the governance, risk and compliance function of any organisation. Horus was designed from its inception to ease this burden by automating various aspects of the GRC process to streamline the generation of reports and checklists as well as to accelerate the velocity of information within the GRC function through our various dashboards that place information at your fingertips. In addition to the ability to easily create customized reports and visualisations, working within Horus automatically creates a robust audit trail where every step of the process is recorded and easily trackable reducing the burden of reporting each step of the process.
The efficiency gains from these tools allows for increased productivity and flexibility within the governance risk and compliance functions, enabling a greater degree of agility and resilience. These efficiencies allow for further focus on purposeful decision making in order to focus on the formulation and articulation of objectives that align with your organisation’s strategy. The culmination of these factors is the improvement of internal communication and collaboration across units and individuals paired with the potential for management to support value creation within the business, driving increased performance. Horus can help protect your business, power growth and maintain the health of your business just as the Eye of Horus historically represented protection, power and vitality.
