INTERNAL CONTROL TESTING
3 challenges
Internal control testing
The 3rd Risk cloud-based risk platform is designed to support risk and compliance professionals with internal control testing
01.
Regulation compliance
In the current complex regulatory landscape, businesses encounter the substantial challenge of staying abreast of a growing array of internal policies, external regulatory requirements, and risks. Achieving compliance can prove to be complex.
02.
Stakeholder involvement
Securing active engagement from internal stakeholders is one of the most significant challenges in risk management. It's crucial for team members to grasp their roles within internal controls.
03.
Risk mitigation
Once areas of risk or non-compliance are identified, the next challenge is to efficiently manage and track the follow-up activities to ensure timely and effective resolution of the issues.
Our solution
An all-in-one risk platform, provided by 3rdRisk
Control library
Centralizing all relevant information about your internal controls
The platform control library offers a comprehensive repository where controls executed by internal teams and third parties are stored and managed. Each control includes a 'heartbeat' visual that graphically represents the effectiveness of the control over time, allowing you to monitor performance and ensure controls are functioning as intended.
Assessment configurator
Make control self-assessments tailored to your specific needs
The internal control assessment configurator offers you the flexibility to define the depth of your control testing. Tailor your approach to include only the first line of defence, incorporate validation by the second line, or extend to a full verification by the third line of defence, aligning with your organisation's risk strategy and governance structure
Assessment scheduler

Optimise your assessment process with our Internal Control Assessment Scheduler. This feature enables you to schedule control assessments efficiently and dispatch them in bulk, simplifying the coordination of large-scale control testing across multiple teams and departments.
