Quantifying risks for regulatory compliance BWise Risk Analysis

BWise offers a Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) management platform composed of several components. All components are an integrated part of the GRC platform. Depending on the needs of our customers, components can be implemented and at a later time other components can be added. The platform guarantees full coverage of all risks with no gaps, omissions or loose ends.
Risk Management and Value at Risk
Value at risk information is very valuable to an enterprise. It assists senior management to make decisions, set priorities and drive business value. The BWise risk analysis capabilities help companies by combining loss distribution analyses with scenario analyses to run Monte Carlo simulations. The results of these simulations are an accurate calculation of the value at risk for a corporation. By changing scenarios the business can determine which risk strategy works best and most effectively for the enterprise. By capturing all losses and incidents in BWise, either by data entry or via data import, BWise Risk Analysis is able to take the monetary value of all losses and create a loss distribution for all the associated risks. BWise also enables scenario analysis when insufficient data is available or when historical data is less accurate. Risk managers are questioned on their expectation with respect to worst, expected and best case risk scenarios. Based on these responses a risk distribution is constructed. The loss distribution and the scenario distribution can be combined to create a best possible view. In addition, risk managers are able to tweak parameters and investigate the sensitivity to these parameters. BWise also offers an integrated Monte Carlo simulation engine that can take various distributions of multiple risks and calculate a value at risk for the risk manager for an even more in depth analysis.
