The risk-control matrix is a tool used within the ICS to identify and assess risks in processes. For each risk, it defines controls to help minimize or avoid the risk. It is a valuable tool for implementing and maintaining an appropriate internal control system.

In order to operationally anchor the defined controls, the GRC Toolbox supports the automated distribution of the controls to the responsible persons and the notification of upcoming control executions. This enables the existence of controls to be proven and their effectiveness to be ensured.

Control assessment in GRC Toolbox is a process of evaluating the design and  operating effectiveness of an organization’s internal controls. A regular control assessment is an important component in the ICS and helps ensure that the organization’s ICS is effective and risks are appropriately identified and mitigated.

GRC Toolbox’s control testing refers to the process of testing the effectiveness of an organization’s internal controls. Control testing ensures that the company’s internal controls are effective and identifies weaknesses or deficiencies in controls before they can lead to major problems.

ICS reporting is important for the company’s management to ensure that the ICS is effective and appropriate. The ICS report typically includes a description of the business processes that were reviewed and a summary of the controls that were identified during the review. In addition, the report includes recommendations for improving internal controls if weaknesses or deficiencies were identified.
