Auto Trader is an FTSE100 technology company and is an agile, fast-paced business, and so needs to have a robust risk management framework which gives the ability to manage risks on a real-time basis.

It had an existing risk and compliance management framework; however, this relied on multiple spreadsheets, and so action tracking and reporting were a manual and lengthy process.

They were looking for a solution that could:

• Bring together multiple risk registers
• Give them the ability to assign actions to risk owners for them to maintain
• Provide real-time reporting and dashboards at different levels of detail

They saw that SureCloud’s solutions could allow them to aggregate risks across different business functions, to track actions and to report on a real-time basis.

The fact that SureCloud also has a vast portfolio of GRC solutions that may be useful to Auto Trader in the future as they expand their GRC journey attracted them to Platform, as the business could grow into the solution over time.

Auto Trader needed a solution that was easy and intuitive to operate, to ensure users will feel confident in how to navigate the software and therefore gain quick value.

They also wanted users to be able to “dip in and out” of the Platform quickly. After reviewing several solutions, many on Gartner’s Magic Quadrants like SureCloud.

Auto Trader found that other vendors lacked the flexibility that SureCloud offered.
