Simplifying the Governance of Complex Organisations

A new way to manage Enterprise Governance, Risk, Assurance and Measurement (EGRAM)

  • The EGRAM Plug-In is a software version of the ALARP Solutions approach to managing Enterprise Governance, Risk, Assurance and Measurement (EGRAM). It provides a well proven structure to help organisations manage the detail and complexity of compliance and assurance requirements.

  • The EGRAM Plug-In is a partnership between ALARP Solutions, a consultancy specialising in Governance, Risk, Assurance, Measurement, and System Safety in Australia and Adelard, a safety consultancy in the UK.

  • The EGRAM Plug-In is hosted on Adelard’s Assurance and Safety Case Environment (ASCE) software which has been the industry benchmark for risk and assurance case development and management for over a decade.

Ensures you achieve your business objectives

Managing an organisation’s governance and assurance arrangements is a complex undertaking that requires significant resources and time.

Recent reviews of governance failures highlight the need for organisations to understand and ensure strong governance arrangements. Increasing regulatory focus on accountabilities and expectations of solid governance frameworks mean organisations and their accountable individuals will be subject to greater scrutiny. Demonstrate sound governance frameworks and assurance programs are in place. Compliance aside, the real benefit of good governance is it enables you to achieve your business objective(s).

Implements proven techniques in a new way

EGRAM has been built using formal propositional logical and is represented graphically using the international Claims Argument Evidence (CAE) graphical notation technique. This allows users to make high-level defensible claims supported by arguments and underpinned by evidence.

The EGRAM Plug-In comes with a set of pre-populated objectives and requirements that help organisations systematically address their governance requirements. These requirements have been developed from first principles to facilitate organisations in their ability to demonstrate compliance to international standards and regulatory requirements, and to better support decision making for executives in achieving their outcomes.

Simplifies complex information for executive decision-making

✓ Control Accountability

✓ Control Responsibility

✓ Control Suitability

✓ Control Effectiveness

✓ Control Currency

The inbuilt Dashboard functionality enables the organisation to report the health of the organisation, highlight areas of interest or concern, and support decision making.

  • ✓ Node development Status

    ✓ Suitability of Individuals

    ✓ Personnel Task Status

    ✓ Actions and Due Dates

    The tool allows assurance (audit and assessment) activity to occur in evidence nodes. This allows you to demonstrate controls are Present and Suitable (Compliant) and gives the ability to conduct assurance that controls are Operating and Effective (meeting business objectives) - all in the one location.

    The EGRAM Plug-In can be used at any level within the organisation to capture the detail, but at the same time provide simplified reporting to the Executive to target system optimisation. This allows the Executive to prioritise their time and maximise the efficiency of the organisation in managing resources.
