LockPath wins 2016 GRC Value Award for Policy Management

OVERLAND PARK, Kan.- November 1, 2016  LockPath, a leader in governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) solutions, today announced the company is being honored with the 2016 GRC Value Award in Policy Management. The GRC Value Awards program recognizes real-world implementations for GRC programs and processes that have returned significant and measurable value to an organization.

For years, Claims Recovery Financial Services (CRFS) used a combination of Microsoft Excel, Word, email and other office tools to manage its compliance program. But as regulations grew more complex, as customer compliance demands multiplied, and as the cost of noncompliance grew steeper, the company was spending over $500,000 a year just to manage compliance. Then, CRFS implemented a solution that not only cut compliance and policy management costs dramatically, but also improved the accuracy and efficiency of its entire compliance program. This was the Keylight Platform from LockPath. Thanks to these compliance savings realized by CRFS, analyst firm GRC 20/20 has chosen to honor LockPath.

“LockPath has demonstrated proven business value in policy management through its work with CRFS,” said Michael Rasmussen, GRC Pundit for GRC 20/20 and internationally recognized expert. “These successes are a milestone toward advancing GRC maturity, enabling the organization to achieve greater efficiency, effectiveness, and agility in GRC processes and broader business operations.”

CRFS configured LockPath’s Keylight GRC platform to manage its entire compliance process. Prior to Keylight, CRFS estimated it spent more than $500,000 annually on compliance, which included employees dedicated to audit tasks, audit preparation, and management review.

“Incorporating Keylight into our compliance management system has enabled us to achieve efficiency, accountability, and transparency improvements that we had not been able to achieve using the disjointed tools and methodologies that we had in place – not even with adding more compliance staff,” said Deborah Cheek, Executive Vice President of Systems & Compliance at CRFS.

With Keylight, CRFS was able to streamline the process of managing its internal policies and complying with state and federal regulations and customer mandates. The Keylight Platform’s automated workflows have made CRFS’ policy, compliance, change and audit management processes predictable and efficient. These workflows have cut at least 50 percent of the time and cost from each process they manage. Employees who were previously occupied with compliance can now focus on strategy and revenue-generating initiatives. Audit preparation time has dropped from over three days per audit to less than half a day per audit.

“In today’s environment of increasing micro scrutiny, there are simply too many complexities and areas of financial and reputational exposure to properly and effectively manage and resolve without taking advantage of a powerful and adaptive software that we found in LockPath’s Keylight Platform,” said Cheek.

Using Keylight to manage compliance, CRFS has capitalized on the following:

– More effective compliance as shown by zero-finding audits

– Increased confidence in compliance management

– Hundreds of thousands of dollars saved in process costs

– Increased efficiency

– Central repository for all compliance related items and tasks

“LockPath is honored to be recognized by GRC 20/20,” said Chris Caldwell, CEO of LockPath. “Keylight eases the workload of policy management, freeing up employees’ time for more strategic projects. Our work with CRFS is just one example of how we are partnering with our customers to help them realize the potential of their compliance programs.”

Award recipients will be written up and acknowledged on the GRC 20/20 blog. To learn more about this award-winning case study and the Keylight Platform, visit lockpath.com.
