Opportunity overview

Cadent is seeking information from the market to understand available Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) SaaS solutions that can support both Enterprise Risk Management and Cyber Risk Management, as well as Internal Audit management. The purpose of this RfI / ROM is to explore supplier capability, solution fit, indicative implementation approach and timescales, licensing model, integration options, migration requirements and high-level ROM costs for a single GRC solution. The solution is expected to support the management of risks, controls, assurance activities (2nd line controls and 3rd line internal audits) issues, actions, exceptions, audits and reporting across Enterprise Risk Management and Cyber Risk Management.
