RSA Archer Speak Up App-Pack

[#1]

Business users have a desire to communicate to management information in the form of ideas, incidents, issues, risks, etc.  Users often request a method to report this information to the management team, but they might not know exactly how to classify the information or where to submit it.  In addition, the management team is interested in acquiring this information from their first line of defense as well as a method for reviewing, prioritizing and assigning accountability for items generated.  This offering meets both requirements, providing users with an application to communicate information with management and leverage workflow to review or approve the reported information. 

RSA Archer Speak Up enables you to submit ideas to improve the business, report issues to the responsible organizations, document concerns regarding potential ethics violations, incidents, breaches, complaints or issues with employees or third parties, and more.  Information can be submitted anonymously to protect the identification of whistleblowers to allow management to focus solely on the issue at hand.  Speak Up requests can also be submitted on behalf of someone who does not have access which will allow them to receive notifications regarding outcomes and approvals are sent to all stakeholders indicated on the request.  This app-pack allows business owners the ability to review the information, assign accountability, and take action while tracking the remediation of outcomes.

With the RSA Archer Speak Up App-Pack, you can empower users within your organization to speak up regarding the business, provide ownership and accountability for information reported, and employ a consistent governance process for reporting information.  Therefore, the organization can be informed of organizational risks related to Speak Up requests and inspire everyone to own risk.
