Alyned Thinking

While Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) is a familiar topic, organisations still struggle to find the best approach for SOX attestation. At Alyne, we aim to provide some clarity to the often ambiguous SOX and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting requirements. Learn about some of the benefits that a well-performing Internal Control System (ICS) aligned to SOX can provide your organisation. Register for our upcoming webinar where our experienced speakers will be sharing success factors and risks to consider along your SOX compliance journey.

ESG risks are now playing a much larger role in contributing to the overall risk exposure of organisations. Incorporating them into your Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) can strengthen your organisation's understanding of its full suite of risks and enhance overall business performance. The good news is that ERM and ESG risks have a significant intersection. Your ESG GRC does not need to be a fundamentally new capability. Learn about key elements to consider and success factors for your ESG ERM strategy.

This past month, we shipped a variety of powerful new features including a brand new high-level feature: Continuous Controls. We also extended the capabilities of Alyne's Documents feature to now include 'Document Mappings' which harnesses machine learning for smart Control matching. In addition, read about Modifiable Library Controls and much more.

Alyne joins the Council of Australasian University Directors of Information Technology (CAUDIT) Strategic Procurement Programme to provide valuable procurement deals for Higher Education Institutions in Australasia. In this collaboration, Alyne will be providing full-service offering for Cyber and Information Security Risk Management to assist CAUDIT members in deriving a comprehensive view of their risk profile.

Environmental (E), Social (S), Governance (G) is a rapidly growing concept that is not just about environmental factors, but involves building resiliency into infrastructures. ESG management and reporting is increasingly becoming a required business practice, shown to have a direct impact on an organisation's financial advantages. It is no wonder that a structured approach to managing ESG risks is a major focus for new regulation, laws and other risk frameworks. It will be up to leadership to drive these goals, implement good practices and deliver risk transparency across their organisation.
