Camms.Risk
In today's fast-paced and dynamic business landscape, organisations are constantly facing a multitude of risks and challenges. Like a ship navigating a stormy sea, businesses need to be able to identify and mitigate risks in order to stay afloat.
A robust control management system is essential for effective risk management. But traditional control management systems can be cumbersome and time-consuming. They often require organisations to link controls to specific risks, which can be a challenge if the risks are constantly changing.
Enter the new revamped Controls Module in Camms.Risk. This innovative enhancement empowers organisations to identify and assess the effectiveness of their controls independently, without mandatory links to risks. Thereby giving organisations the flexibility they need to manage their controls in a way that is most effective for their specific needs. The Controls Module in Camms.Risk also offers several other features that make it a valuable tool for risk management. This blog post will provide an in-depth exploration of the Controls Module, including its features and real-world applications, highlighting its essential role and practicality.

The Camms Control Module is a game-changer when it comes to control management.

This new independence opens up possibilities for a wide range of business processes. The Controls Module can function as a standalone entity or seamlessly integrate with other Camms products, such as Camms.Risk and Camms.Risk Compliance Management.
Key Features of the Controls Module
Link and Monitor Controls to Additional Entities
The new Controls Module allows you to link and monitor controls to various entities, such as hierarchy, risk, compliance, policies, incidents, audits, and more. This feature enables a comprehensive view of control effectiveness across the organisation.
Add/Edit/Delete Controls Against a Compliance Record

Dedicated Settings Area for Controls
The Controls Module provides a dedicated settings area, empowering administrators to configure control ratings, field settings, custom lists, control register configurations, and email notifications. This level of customisation ensures the module aligns perfectly with your organisation’s unique needs.

Creating Controls
Creating controls within the new module is a simple process. Users can utilise three methods:
Control Register: Access the Control Register from the left-hand navigation menu or Menu > Workspace > Control Register and click on the “+ New” button to create a new control.
