Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) enables an organization to effectively deal with uncertainty and associated risk. The heart of an effective system of governance and internal control is proactive, effective and sustained enterprise-wide risk management.

Beyond the fact that ERM is a core component of internal control and thus fundamental to good governance, ERM is also increasingly recognized by forward-thinking organizations as a long-term, sustainable and cost effective solution to meeting the compliance mandates as required by Sarbanes-Oxley and the ever-increasing compliance requirements that companies face today.

To that end, the best solutions for long-term, cost effective and repeatable risk management involve the use of information technology. A risk management software-based system helps organizations collect and analyze data and offer real cost savings across the enterprise.

The Entropy System addresses the specific need of organizations for effective and efficient risk management. It is composed of five key workflows which work across risk areas for a comprehensive view. The workflows function independently for targeted issues or as an integrated whole providing a full management system suite for a standards-based approach to risk, compliance and performance improvement.
