Diligent HighBond™
HighBond finally brings together what belongs together, seamlessly combining ESG, audit, risk management, compliance and internal control system within an integrated GRC platform.
The Highbond platform – an overview
Move away from spreadsheets and information silos to an integrated GRC platform containing all key players. HighBond includes its own solution modules for specialist areas such as audit, risk management, internal control system and compliance. However, these are seamlessly intermeshed with each other within a web platform, ensuring that all technical and content-related requirements are taken care of for the necessary interfaces. Cloud-based technology combines future-proofing and minimal technical requirements with the best user interface in this field. A further unique feature is the foundation, which is based on data analytics and thus ensures the required depth and content.
Essential solution modules
While HighBond is an integrated platform, it has various key content-related areas. The most important use cases are outlined below.
Audit management
Are you looking for a solution to support you in your audit management, from planning, execution based on a checklist and documenting findings through to follow-up and reporting? HighBond offers precisely this, together with possibilities for seamlessly integrating data analyses. The end result is an audit report that is generated at the touch of a button, based on the recorded content and precisely formatted in your company's standard layout.

Internal Controls Management
Although similar in content to audit, the internal control system has its own requirements. HighBond maps your risk control matrix and also includes the rolling out and testing of controls (including as part of SOX or JSOX scenarios). The transparency offered to both control owners and control performers via the mission control functionality is particularly exciting.

Enterprise risk management
Corporate risks (both operational and enterprise-level risks) are a key focus for both audit and the internal control system. Here, HighBond is distinct from other solutions as it places risks in the context of strategic corporate objectives. Risk management is also closely integrated with the results from data analyses, audits and testing of the internal control system. This enables transparent risk assessments (in some cases automated and always well-founded).

Regulatory Compliance
While compliance with relevant regulations and policies is essential in today's world, creating the necessary transparency is becoming increasingly difficult. Which regulations actually exist and are relevant, and which sub-areas and detailed requirements play a specific role/no role for individual departments within the company? Here, it is also crucial to integrate the specialist departments via self-assessments or other interaction functions. HighBond offers all this without you having to consolidate an infinite number of Excel files or play e-mail ping pong.

Unique feature: data driven
Irrespective of which use cases are of interest to you, a common feature of all modules is that they are based on data and analyses. While the Robotics solution provides the analytics foundation, data that are centrally recorded as part of self-assessments or surveys also ensure that as well as being a modern, attractive and functional solution, HighBond is also materially underpinned with integrated data.

But that’s not all....
