Operational Risk That Doesn't Live in Spreadsheets
Your RCSA process runs in Excel. Incidents get logged in a shared mailbox. Issues are tracked in one system, KRIs in another, and control testing results in a third. Every business line has its own version of the process, and no one has a complete view of control effectiveness across the organization. When examiners ask how you know your controls are working, the honest answer takes weeks to compile. Ethos brings the full ORM lifecycle into one governed platform.
Risk and Control Inventories — Governed inventories for risks, controls, processes, incidents, issues, losses, and key risk indicators — all linked. A control maps to the risks it mitigates, the processes it supports, and the incidents that tested it. Patterns become visible instead of buried across systems.
RCSA Workflow Automation — Standardize the RCSA process across business lines with configurable workflows. Each line of business follows a consistent methodology while retaining flexibility for their specific risk landscape. Automated reminders ensure assessments don't stall.
Control Testing and Effectiveness — Define testing programs, schedule cycles, and track results. When a control fails or degrades, automated escalation ensures it gets addressed before the next exam — not during it.
KRI Monitoring and Thresholds — Define key risk indicators with thresholds and tolerance levels. Automated monitoring flags breaches and trend changes so your team focuses on what's moving, not what's static.
