The Risk Assurance Platform has helped the University of Sussex to introduce a robust and structured approach to Risk management.
Initially launched within the IT Services function, the University has now expanded the use of the tool to the professional services and academic units to provide a common, consistent approach and view to risk and issue management for the University.
The platform allows them to track and manage risks, with workflow built in to ensure actions are tracked and monitored, ensuring that they manage and avoid overdue actions and keep aware of risk mitigation plans.
The tool is a key enabler to introducing a better risk management culture and assists with prioritising resource and action to address the key risks and issues that the organisation has identified.
