Protect

Protect your firm with risk mitigation
Preserve, safeguard and document your risk score
Your firm, employees and clients all require protection. Oyster Solutions manages the burden for you. The Oyster Solutions platform documents risk, customizes risk tolerance and scores risk based on your firm’s needs. You then have the information to define and measure your controls through policies, procedures and strategic testing workflows, creating an easily customizable risk mitigation plan.
By defining and quantifying your risk, Oyster Solutions keeps your business and risk mitigation strategies balanced while meeting your regulatory requirements.

Protect – align, categorize and manage your risk mitigation
Workflows that test your risks can then be scheduled in your Compliance Calendar with a frequency based on residual risks. The Oyster Solutions Risk Assessment allows your firm to develop a way sophisticated and easy to visualize risk-based compliance program, and make the decision-making process easier with compliance risk management..

Align – Oyster’s risk mitigation identifies the gap between policies and procedures
Often we see firms whose policies and procedures are aspirational or vague, causing gaps in their compliance risk management program. Regulators expect firms to not only have policies to comply with rules and regulations, but procedures that ensure policies are followed. This is where the gap happens.
Oyster Solutions houses policies and procedures, not just for reference, but also to integrate your procedures into the steps of configurable workflows. This ensures that your procedures reinforce the policies you have worked to put in place.

Categorize – assess your risk
Risk comes in all shapes and sizes. Risk tolerance varies between firms.
With Oyster Solutions, “risk” doesn’t have to be a four letter word. Risk is easily managed, categorized, scored and charted. Easy-to-read dashboards give transparency and definition to your firm’s risk management strategy.

Organize – map to products, lines of business, regulations, procedures or workflows
Incorporate multiple manuals or use the Oyster Solutions entitlements engine to create one program that gives each user the applicable information needed to complete their job. Our entitlements process allows you to have detailed desk procedures, supervisory procedures, testing procedures and surveillance procedures all in one place, so you have a clear understanding of your organization.
