What this solution addresses

Vilfora ERM connects RCSA templates, campaign scheduling, business-unit assignments, control assessments, supporting evidence, review and deficiency conversion. A central control library reduces duplicate control descriptions and creates one view of control ownership, design, operation, testing and reuse across risks and obligations.

01

RCSA exercises are managed as one-off spreadsheets with inconsistent questions, ratings and evidence standards.

02

The same control is recreated across processes and assessments without an authoritative owner or testing history.

03

Control deficiencies are reported but not consistently converted into accountable, time-bound remediation.

Within Vilfora ERM
