IT Risk Management Software Resources

Great question - searching and adding customizations one by one is definitely a bit of a manual process. We recently added a few ways for you to do this more efficiently. You can search for customizations and filter by Type, Bundle ID, Date Range, Users that last modified, or any combination of those. This should allow you to pull up a more specific list of customizations and multi-select to add them all at once. If you have any other ideas that might help, please let us know! We're going to put together a short video of this process and add it to the resource index on our website and we'll have your CSM reach out to you directly. Thanks!

An Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework is a structured, organization-wide approach to identifying, assessing, and managing risk in a consistent and coordinated way. Rather than addressing risks in silos, an ERM framework establishes a common methodology that allows risks to be evaluated and compared across business units. This typically includes defined processes for risk identification, risk assessment (likelihood and impact), control evaluation, and ongoing monitoring and reporting. There are several widely recognized ERM frameworks that organizations use as a foundation, including: • COSO ERM Framework – focuses on integrating risk with strategy and performance • ISO 31000 – provides principles and guidelines for risk management across industries • Risk Maturity Model (RMM) – emphasizes assessing and improving the maturity of risk management practices over time, helping organizations move from ad hoc efforts to fully integrated, proactive programs The importance of an ERM framework goes beyond operational efficiency—it also has governance and legal implications. For example, in Stone v. Ritter (2006), the Delaware Supreme Court reinforced that directors have a duty of oversight, which includes ensuring that appropriate information and reporting systems are in place. A “sustained or systematic failure” to establish such systems can expose leadership to liability. In practice, an ERM framework helps organizations: • Provide leadership and the board with a consolidated, reliable view of risk • Establish consistent reporting and escalation processes • Support informed decision-making aligned with risk appetite • Demonstrate that appropriate oversight structures are in place Ultimately, an effective ERM framework enables organizations to manage uncertainty in a disciplined way while meeting both strategic and fiduciary responsibilities.

Everyone ultimately needs enterprise risk management software, but not everyone is ready for it at the same time. If you’re early in your ERM journey, the better question is when it actually becomes necessary. ERM software starts to make sense when: • Leadership or the board asks you to formalize risk management • You’re moving beyond spreadsheets or manual tracking • Different teams are assessing risk in inconsistent ways • You’re using multiple point solutions that create gaps and duplicate work • You need a clear, consolidated view of risk to support decisions This is where ERM software adds real value. It standardizes how risks are identified and assessed, connects risks across the organization, and helps you focus on root causes instead of just checking compliance boxes. There’s also an oversight angle that often gets overlooked. Under Caremark and Stone v. Ritter, leadership has a duty of oversight. If there is a sustained failure to establish proper information and reporting systems, directors can be held liable. In simple terms, organizations need a reliable way to surface and report risk. ERM software is not just about efficiency. It helps reduce fraud, waste, and negligence, eliminates blind spots from siloed tools, and supports more proactive decision-making. So while you may not need ERM software on day one, once risk management becomes an expectation from leadership, it becomes a critical investment.
