RCSA
Orchestrate consistent risk and control assessments across business units with built-in scoring, evidence capture, and automated follow-ups.
Solution Overview
The RCSA (Risk & Control Self-Assessment) solution enables organizations to evaluate the effectiveness of their internal controls and risk management practices consistently across departments.
SmartSuite standardizes RCSA workflows, making it easy for control owners to complete assessments, attach evidence, and track remediation activities from a single platform.
The solution supports industry frameworks such as COSO, ISO 31000, NIST, and the CRI Profile, allowing you to map controls and risks to specific domains and automatically calculate control effectiveness scores.
Centralized dashboards deliver real-time visibility into assessment progress, control weaknesses, and overall risk exposure — providing a complete view of operational resilience.
