Continuous Compliance For the 'Average Joe'

Written by Taylor Blazina | 03 Jan 2020

What is an IT Audit?

How many of you know what an IT Audit is? An IT audit is that dreaded task that institutions must perform once a year to make sure that everything is in order and that everything ‘checks out’. It’s very commonly associated with negative experiences. Why is that? Because it is difficult to summarize a whole year’s worth of events at once. Things will get missed.

Could you imagine having to recap how many times you brushed your teeth over the last year to show your dentist at your appointment? No! That’s unrealistic.

If your dentist called you every week and asked you how many times you brushed your teeth, you might actually be able to piece together some accurate information, right?

 

Continuous Compliance provides quality control

That’s how Continuous Compliance works. Continuous Compliance is a service that Rivial offers where we make sure that your financial institution is up to par in the realm of compliance. Instead of checking once a year, we check more routinely. This allows for us to get more accurate information from our clients and provides us with the opportunity to be able to make suggestions and recommendations without having to make a years worth of changes.

IT Compliance provides quality control. For the same reasons we wouldn’t want factories to only test vehicles for their safety at the end of the production line, we don’t want to do an IT audit once a year.

Here at Rivial, we see the flaws in the current process of compliance in this industry and we aim to instill change. We offer free demo's of our Continuous Compliance service because we want you to know just how revolutionary it is. Take advantage of this, there are no strings attached.
