Control Program

Audit, Self-Assessment – Several different types of control programs can be created within audit and self-assessment, for example, ISO 27001/9001, work environment, inspections, systematic fire protection, and internal control. It is possible to copy pre-defined controls from standardized areas such as ISO management systems and legislation. Distribution can be done via classification, e.g., all IT resources, HR, work environment, etc.

Inspection - Inspections are often used within the insurance industry as a basis for insurance premiums. The inspection is often carried out by an authorized risk engineer who analyzes the business, facility, or factory based on a set of questions. Each question is weighted based on the response alternatives, and a so-called risk score is calculated for the facility. Recommendations, deviations, and evidence can also be linked to each question. An EML (Estimated Maximum Loss) value is calculated, which serves as the basis for the insurance premium.

Supervision - Supervision means that a responsible organization, such as a public authority or industry association, conducts inspection within its area of responsibility. This can range from animal husbandry, restaurants, or environmental regulations to financial requirements within banking and insurance. Supervision is often based on a number of predefined controls, and the entire supervisory activity can be seen as an approval process. If there are no remarks, the business can continue. If there are remarks, it can, in the worst case, lead to the shutdown of the business or various types of injunctions.

Survey - Surveys follow the same principle of posing questions to a group of people, distributing them, having a response period, monitoring, and compiling the results. Surveys are used in many different areas with various purposes, such as customer satisfaction surveys, quality assessments, analysis, decision support, and employee and customer surveys. All of these can be dynamically configured in the iFACTS platform's control programs. The iFACTS E-service can be a helpful tool if the recipients do not have a login to the system; the entire response process is then handled via the E-service platform.

Streamlined Management with a Focus on Security and Flexibility

To meet the varying demands of different types of organizations, iFACTS offers several installation options. The system can be delivered as:

  • On-premise solution: Installed in your own IT environment, completely disconnected from external systems and cloud services. A secure choice for organizations with high demands on data sovereignty.
  • SaaS solution: Hosted in Swedish data centers within the EU/EEA, where you as a customer always have your own dedicated instance – with no shared data environment.

The iFACTS operating environment meets high standards for information security and availability. All communication is encrypted, backups are performed daily, and restore tests are conducted regularly. Furthermore, backup and storage policies can be adapted to your specific needs.

Benefits

With iFACTS Control Programs, you get effective support to create surveys, controls, audits, and inspections, among other things. Control Programs is a standalone functionality within the iFACTS platform. It can be linked to and used by other entities in the platform, such as organizations, processes, facilities, IT resources, and external suppliers.

The platform supports a dynamic, structured, traceable, and standards-compliant process for creating various types of control programs, including nonconformity management, evidence, attaching documents, and reporting via the iFACTS E-service.
