A New Paradigm for Risk-Management

Over the decades, risk management has evolved into a crucial process that organizations require to tackle the inevitable uncertainties associated with organizational strategies, initiatives and projects. However, for most enterprises, there are multiple teams involved in assessing different types of risks such as operational risks, technical risks, cyber security and vulnerabilities, and compliance to ever-evolving regulations and standards. Risk assessment requires lots of coordination, and organizations need to constantly (repetitively and iteratively) monitor various risks.

Risk-aware organizations can become efficient and agile by adopting an integrated risk management approach that can break down traditional silos. Today, platforms like ServiceNow allow integrated risk management to move from a mere buzzword to a proven methodology that can holistically address risks. Observing the paradigm shift, INRY, a Bloomington, MN-based information technology and services provider, offers a solution using a proprietary methodology to assist organizations with tackling risk management using ServiceNow’s Governance, Risk, Compliance, and Security applications.

“We have extensive experience implementing ServiceNow Governance, Risk and Compliance and Security Operations applications and understanding the unique needs of organizations across different industries.” says Anu Bulusu, the CEO of INRY. She continues, “Our implementation services are designed with a consultative approach allowing clients to quickly start using ServiceNow for identifying, categorizing, scoring, prioritizing and mitigating IT risks; managing Information Security; and complying with various regulations.”

INRY assists organizations with developing an integrated system for Security &Compliance that provides information security and risk managers with real-time insights and visibility to enhance risk response; whether that is related to managing vulnerabilities; or managing information security controls.

The uniqueness of their offering lies in the fact that it brings together three major aspects that have never-before been assembled by any vendor in the market. First, the firm is a ServiceNow Gold Partner with over 150 implementations and vast experience across all its applications. “Our 360-degree relationship with ServiceNow; as a design partner, technology partner, sales partner, implementation partner and as a client, gives us a holistic understanding of the platform and enables us to drive value for our clients,” says Bipin Paracha, Co-Founder, INRY. Secondly, with the help of their proprietary delivery methodology—‘Process Area Specific Sprints’ (PASS), INRY can deploy ServiceNow faster and can focus on delivering a tangible return on investment by evaluating business objectives and breaking requirements down into logical process areas to create functional deliverables. This allows individual teams in an organization start using standard risk management practices and platform without having to “boil the ocean”. Lastly, unlike typical implementation services that end with the deployment of the ServiceNow solution with a few weeks of post-deployment support, INRY offers an extended enablement and adoption service offering that lasts for nine months during which clients can further familiarize themselves with the system while identifying a strategic roadmap for process and platform maturity. “We provide clients with periodic insights and mentoring to ensure their success,” says Anu.

In one instance, the firm helped a healthcare provider set up their risk management, compliance, incident response practice— all on ServiceNow. INRY bridged the gap between their process, compliance specialists, and technology teams to help implement an integrated risk management solution. Over the years, INRY has been responsible for many such success stories across various industries like Financial Services, Professional Services, Healthcare & Retail and aims to enhance their offerings and partnerships in the years to come. “We will continue to march down the path of helping CISOs with a one-stop-shop,” concludes Anu.
