HiScout Synergies

Administer all management systems in one instance, save the effort of maintaining duplicate infrastructures and upgrade all HiScout modules in the clients as required. The central set-up of authorisations and clients minimises the effort required for each module.

All management systems use the same user interfaces and operating tools, for example they use the  HiScout Questionnaire to facilitate data collection, or the HiScout DocGen for customised evaluations and reports. Security and IT managers who work across different topics can find their way around new modules immediately and do not have to constantly switch between different systems in their day-to-day work.

The data collected or imported in one module can continuously be used, customised and added to other modules. HiScout Questionnaire simplifies data collection immensely, so that people who only rarely contribute to data collection do not need to be trained in operating HiScout.

When introducing the HiScout GRC Suite , the interfaces for using existing databases only need to be set up once – or all management systems can access the HiScout Platform’s shared database directly.

While creating the processing activities registry (VVT), data protection takes great care to record which personal data is processed by which applications. You can continue to use this information when determining protection requirement assessments in other HiScout modules.

Actions planned or implemented in a management system are also displayed transparently in the other HiScout modules, so that no double administration is necessary.

Use the threats, risk classifications and risk treatments recorded in a HiScout module for the risk management of other modules; for example, HiScout Data Protection benefits from the detailed risk registers of the HiScout Basic Protection and HiScout BCM.

The maximum period of disruption of business-critical processes determined in the Business Impact Analysis (BIA) can be directly passed on to the IT systems and applications required to maintain them in the common data model.

Measures required for auditing can be coordinated and harmonised across various GRC topics. Closer communication between both – the management systems themselves and the people involved, increases the level of interdisciplinary maturity.
