Enterprise Management

Manage relationships and dependencies within your enterprise hierarchy and infrastructure to support GRC initiatives.

Archer Enterprise Management provides a central repository of information on your business hierarchy and enterprise infrastructure, enabling you to form an aggregate view of organizational divisions, determine the value of supporting technologies, and use that information in the context of governance, risk and compliance (GRC) initiatives across your enterprise. Archer’s Enterprise Management software solution allows you to track risk and compliance information for your products, services and business processes; associate the devices, applications and information that support them; and relate technologies to the facilities where they reside. You can also produce reports to monitor GRC initiatives at the company, division and business-unit levels in order to support informed, strategic decision making.

Through Archer Enterprise Management, you can:

  • Document Your Business Hierarchy

    Model out your organizational hierarchy to enable governance, risk and compliance reporting at every level of your business. Capture information on organizational responsibilities and management, current year financials, and related business processes and technologies.

  • Centralize Your Infrastructure Database

    Gain an aggregate view of infrastructure technologies and their relationships to your organizational hierarchy and business offerings. You can enter information through Archer’s web-based interface or automatically import data from third-party discovery and inventory solutions using the Archer Data Feed Manager.

  • Track Information Assets

    Manage a repository of information assets, and perform online assessments to determine classification ratings and required retention periods. Also link information assets to the business processes they support, the applications where they are managed and the facilities where they are housed.

  • Classify, Prioritize and Establish Ownership

    Classify your business offerings and technologies by type or grouping, understand relationships and dependencies, and assign ownership to establish a clear line of authority for maintenance, control and security. Because the solution is built on the flexible Archer SmartSuite Framework, you can tailor the solution structure to collect an unlimited number of data points that are important to your organization.

  • Quickly Generate Real-Time Reports

    Utilize Archer’s powerful reporting capabilities to monitor GRC initiatives at the company, division and business-unit levels and to track supporting technologies and information assets by type, owner and other attributes. Also deliver information through graphical dashboards, providing users with a complete understanding of the technologies, information and processes that support your business offerings.

  • Support Governance, Risk and Compliance Initiatives

    Implement Archer Enterprise Management as the hub of your governance, risk and compliance program. The solution integrates seamlessly with all other Archer solutions, allowing you to link policies, control standards and configuration procedures directly to technologies, to identify assets as the “target” of online risk and compliance assessments, to track threats and security incidents that affect specific technologies, and more.
