About The Customer

The company also caters to over 100,000 UAE businesses with its vast range of ICT and managed services. In 2010, the UAE launched Vision 2021 to make the country a world leader by the Golden Jubilee of its union. As part of this vision, du was chosen as the Strategic Partner for the Smart Dubai Platform, a smart city initiative. To ensure the protection of customer data, a critical aspect of their business, du created the Technologies, Security, and Risk Management Department (TSRM).

The Challenge

du, a telecommunications service provider in the UAE, was tasked with contributing to the country's Vision 2021, which aims to make the UAE a global leader in various sectors, including telecommunications. As part of this vision, du was chosen as the Strategic Partner for the Smart Dubai Platform, a smart city initiative. To ensure the protection of customer data, a critical aspect of their business, du created the Technologies, Security, and Risk Management Department (TSRM). TSRM needed a global risk and compliance (GRC) software solution to enhance labor efficiency, monitor adherence to regulatory standards, evaluate, assess and mitigate risk, and report all of this information to senior management.

The Solution

TSRM identified and deployed Archer Suite, a leader in integrated risk management solutions. The team adopted a phased approach to implementing the suite's various functions, starting with task management and moving on to development management, business continuity, and data and control configuration. Being cloud-enabled, Archer Suite supports du's evolving infrastructure and facilitates enterprise-wide visibility into the organization's performance against a set of risk-related key performance indicators. The management can access a dashboard at any time to see the latest top-ranked risks faced by the organization.
