How Apromore Enhances GRC with Process Mining: Key Differences and Synergies

In today’s complex regulatory environment, Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) management is crucial for organizations across all sectors. Traditional GRC tools help businesses identify risks, ensure regulatory compliance, and establish governance frameworks. However, as business processes become more complex, the need for more automated and real-time monitoring solutions grows. This is where Apromore comes in.

Apromore is designed to complement and integrate with your existing GRC systems, not replace them. By leveraging the power of process mining, Apromore enhances how organizations approach GRC, providing automated control assurance, root cause analysis, and compliance by design—all while aligning with your existing GRC framework.

 

1. Automated and Continuous Control Assurance: Extending Your GRC System

Traditional GRC systems rely heavily on manually executed controls to identify breaches or compliance issues, which can be time-consuming and error prone. Apromore works alongside your existing GRC tool by automatically checking your GRC controls across your end-to-end processes, thanks to its process mining capabilities.

  • Real-Time Monitoring: Apromore automatically checks your GRC controls at each step of your business processes to identify control failures in real time. This automated GRC control assurance approach reduces reliance on manual control testing, offering more accurate and timely detection of compliance issues.
  • Enhanced Efficiency and Accuracy: By integrating Apromore’s automated control assurance with your GRC system, you save time and resources, allowing your compliance teams to focus on strategic planning and risk mitigation.

 

2. Root-Cause Analysis: Going Beyond What Traditional GRC Offers

While traditional GRC tools alert you to a compliance breach, they often lack the depth needed to analyze its root causes. Apromore enhances your GRC strategy by providing insights about possible causes of compliance breaches through process mining.

  • Uncover Hidden Patterns: Apromore analyzes event logs and process data to identify the sequence of activities leading to compliance breaches. This level of insight enables you to understand not just what went wrong, but why it happened.
  • Targeted Remediation in Alignment with GRC: With root-cause analysis, you can implement more effective interventions within your GRC framework, addressing underlying issues that led to the breach, rather than just treating symptoms.

 

3. Compliance by Design: Assessing the Impact of Process Changes on Control Effectiveness

Understanding how changes to business processes impact control effectiveness is a common challenge in GRC management. Apromore complements your GRC system by offering a digital twin of your end-to-end processes, so that you can achieve compliance by design by assessing the impact of process changes on your GRC controls.

  • Simulate Process Changes: Apromore enables you to simulate process changes in a risk-free environment and assess their impact on control effectiveness. This proactive approach helps you make data-driven decisions that align with your GRC goals.
  • Seamless Integration for Predictive Insights: By integrating Apromore with your GRC tools, you gain continuous feedback on how process modifications affect control outcomes, enabling ongoing improvements in compliance and performance.

 

Why Apromore is the Perfect Companion to Your GRC System
