Our Vision of Information Security Management Systems (ISMS)
Become the Management’s Sparring Partner
Availability, integrity and confidentiality of the information provision are crucial. In addition to your role as discussion partner of the board and management in case of serious information security or ICT incidents, your CISO wants to proactively identify risks in business operations. Don’t lose sight of this and make sure you focus on the most important risks. The BIO, ISO27001, ISO27002 and NEST legislation provide a structure, but you as a sparring partner determine the most important risks and controls. By facilitating these processes and focusing on important issues, the necessary information is collected more easily and you keep control of the accountability process.

Three Lines Model
1st line
2nd line
3rd line
The Three Lines of Defense model from The Global Institute of Internal Auditors was updated in July 2020.
The functions are not only intended to protect the value of the organization, but also to increase it. As a result, we no longer talk about ‘lines of defense’ or ‘lines of defence’.
The goals of the organization are central to all functions. The functions are not silos, but coordinate and work together; each from his own role. The design of the model must be geared to the risks and specific situation of the organization.
The 3LM establishes a stronger link with the objectives of the organization.
1st line
This group is ultimately responsible for the choices made and the risks taken in daily practice .
You want to optimally support the people who are responsible for the most important activities and processes in an organization. GRC information is relevant, but often only if you have to. How do you make it easier for them? How is risk management going to live for them? Do they know within which frameworks they have to operate? And how do you effectively conduct a Privacy Impact Assessment without immediately bombarding all teams with a questionnaire of more than 100 questions?
Key words are: Accountability and reporting.
< p>
2nd line
This group develops the systems for a good process of risk management and control , always supporting the ‘business’.
The risk manager, controller, auditor, compliance or security officer (CISO) wants a clear register of risks, controls, compliance sets and, for example, related incidents. NARIS GRC helps the GRC Professional with insight, completeness. Whether you work on the basis of a Risk Control Framework or only do control testing, want to do internal and external audits, or want to comply with a standard. With our knowledge and the flexibility of NARIS GRC you can steer with guts.
Keywords are: Delegation, direction, resources, supervision
3rd line
This group provides assurance to top leadership (assurance) on the quality of direction and control in certain areas within the organization.
Supervisors, Boards of Directors/Supervision/Commissioners, external auditors or accountants, as an internal auditor you want to report in an effective and relevant way. NARIS GRC can help you with those reports; whether it concerns assurance of audits or controls, risks at chain partners or objectives of the organization itself. From detail to dashboard, internally or externally; look back to steer forward. Fueled by useful GRC information so that the right assurance can be given.
Keywords are: Alignment, communication, coordination, cooperation
Build or Import Control Framework
Save time on the design of your audit by using standard templates based on standards (including ISO31000, 27001/27002/90001, NEST), frameworks (NOREA) and laws and regulations (AVG, BIO). With NARIS Next, you start with what other organizations have already developed and you can focus on making controls specific.


Involve the Organisation with Risk Dialogue
A good dialogue works better than just doing a control risk self-assessment. NARIS Next includes a knowledge database from which you can quickly select the right set of risks and controls. It offers the possibility to chat interactively about cause, event and effect. By subsequently estimating the probability and impact, support is created for the priorities. This leaves more time for data analysis and focus on the organizational units that are less in control.
Activity Management
In order to collect evidence, you can use NARIS Next to periodically send questionnaires or checklists within your organization. Risk and impact analyses, audits, tests and reviews, and issue tracking also produce recommendations. In some organizations, the reservoir of energy is drained by these tasks. With NARIS Next, an overview is kept of the open recommendations and the activities are monitored.
