RCSA Campaigns

RCSA software for risk and control self-assessment campaigns your control owners can finish

Run a defined population of controls through self-assessment in one period. First-line owners assess, second-line reviewers validate or return with a reason, and progress counts only work that has been independently validated.

RCSA Capabilities

Self-assessment at scale, with challenge built in

A campaign gives a whole assessment exercise a scope, a progress view and a clean close.

Scoped campaigns

Scope a campaign by business unit, control category, framework or risk rating, or run the full population. Controls with no owner are exposed at scoping, before anyone is asked to assess.

Routed through the Workbench

Activating a campaign creates assessments and places them in each owner's Workbench with notifications, so owners act in one place instead of chasing spreadsheets.

Independent review

Each assessment goes through its own review chain and the assessor cannot approve their own work. Deficiencies become findings with the source recorded as RCSA.

The campaign lifecycle

Draft, activate, monitor, review and close

Campaign states keep preparation, assessment and the final record separate.

1. Create in draft

Set the period, the assessment type and the population of controls.

2. Confirm ownership

Check every control in scope has an owner. Gaps become visible here.

3. Activate

Assessments are created and routed to owners through the Workbench.

4. Monitor progress

Follow completion by owner and by business unit, and sync scope if controls change.

5. Review submissions

Reviewers validate or return each assessment with a reason.

6. Close

The campaign closes and its results are frozen for reporting.

Honest by design

Progress means validated

RCSA reporting is only useful if the numbers cannot flatter the exercise.

Started is not validated

Work that has been started, or submitted but not yet reviewed, does not move the completion figure.

Findings keep their source

Deficiencies found during assessment become findings with the source recorded, and are tracked like findings from any other source.

Scope smaller than feels complete

A tightly scoped campaign with high completion tells you more than a broad one that owners cannot finish.
