Business operations are a complex mixture of people, processes and technology. Enterprise and Operational Risk Management is the singular, most important central point of aggregation for organizational risk. Continuum GRC provides a global solution to identify, assess and monitor risks consistently across the enterprise, auto-mapping between all the world's standards.
Continuum GRC provides a risk-based approach to Audit and Regulatory Controls Management and consolidates the entire process within a single source of truth. Supporting ALL the frameworks and standards the world has to offer such as StateRAMP, FedRAMP, CMMC, HIPAA, 800-53, CJIS, DFARS, SOC 1, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NERC CIP, SOX 404, PCI, EUCS, C5 and more.
Governance and Policy Controls Management serves as the foundation for a program by outlining the structure, authority, and processes required for the organization through the clearly defined governance structure, stratification of authority, defined and well-communicated policies, procedures and the supporting processes critical to empowering an effective program.
Technology drives the global economy. Unfortunately, risks such as cybersecurity threats and technology failures are nearly impossible to predict. Continuum GRC IT & Security Risk Management is foundational to organizational strategy to manage technology risk. Universally, IT and Cybersecurity Risk Management supports organizational business initiatives, or enabling IT Audit and Regulatory Control compliance.
The exponential increase in organizational dependencies on third-party providers means that organizations also inherit third-party risks. Third-Party and Vendor Risk Management enables you to automate oversight of third-party relationships, allowing organizations to prioritize governance necessary to manage risk across the entire third-party management lifecycle.

Across government and private organizations, the need to match records and confirm death has become a major concern. People who take out credit or receive benefits do so because they are living, and once they pass, there must be a way to align the state of their benefits and finances.

This collection of records helps organizations track the deaths of social security beneficiaries. It contains private information that needs to be protected.
