JCAD CORE overview

What is JCAD CORE?

JCAD CORE is a web-based enterprise risk management system designed for use in both the commercial and public sectors, including in central government, local authorities, housing associations, utility companies, and charities. Included are tools to assist users in identifying, monitoring, and mitigating risks, ensuring corporate compliance, exploiting new opportunities, and more.

JCAD's off the shelf risk management software, CORE, provides businesses with a framework that enables controlled management of risk and compliance with a clear link to objectives and strategy.

JCAD CORE gives users the option of using one or multiple risk registers to log identified risks, probabilities, severities, and mitigating actions. The risk register can be configured to align with any pre-existing risk management framework, and allows users to link risks to compliance, incident, and opportunity records, as well as strategy and reporting structure. Risk profiles are structured using a traffic light methodology, and a comprehensive audit trail is created automatically.

Performance metrics in JCAD CORE enable users to measure risk and control performance, through KPIs (key performance indicators) which link with objectives, KRIs (key risk indicators) linked to risks, and KCIs (key control indicators) which link with controls. Interactive dashboards and charts allow users to drill down from graphs to the underlying risk records. Automated alerts can be set up for items such as action reminders, risk & control assessments, and anomalous behaviors, to ensure that users are notified of upcoming deadlines and required action.

The software is smartphone compatible allowing you to access your risk registers from anywhere at anytime. The API integrations allow you to connect to Power BI solutions such as SAP, Oracle and others.

Key benefits of using JCAD CORE

  • Three types of metrics can be set up - key risk indicators (KRIs), key performance indicators (KPIs), and key control indicators (KCIs) - and specific users can be assigned ownership of each metric, making them responsible for data entry.

  • Data can be integrated and linked across business functions, such as linking audit recommendations to the applicable process controls, or compliance requirements to high risk business areas and any breaches which have occurred.

  • Records reviews can be carried out in three different ways, using free-text summaries, predefined lists, or assurance statements.

  • The welcome page, which is presented on login, gives users an overview of their assigned records, outstanding reviews, password expiration dates, and more.

  • 15 charts templates, half a dozen of which will be configured to fit the client's framework. API also available to extract data for reporting in enterprise tools.
