Corporater Operational Risk Management helps operational managers and process owners define risk policies, identify and assess risks, and manage incidents and controls. Risks can be entered through forms, connected data, or user input, then recorded in group or local registers tailored to departments and jurisdictions. Assessments can be quantitative or qualitative, using expert mode, guided wizards, surveys, or AI assistance. The system monitors internal and third-party risks, including identified, residual, and secondary risks, and tracks corrective actions. Teams can define risk areas across departments, levels, and processes, and link them to assurance frameworks. Incident workflows, control libraries, test templates, treatment alerts, and control activity monitoring support ongoing oversight. Users can create role-based dashboards and custom reports for review and approval. Listed data sources include Excel, CSV, SQL, MDX, web services, SFTP, and third-party JDBC drivers; the Open API-based API can communicate with Corporater BMP.
