Maker–Checker and Segregation of Duties in IT and Risk Workflows
One person should not be able to request, approve and complete a sensitive change. Maker–checker is the simplest control that enforces that principle.
Key takeaways
- Vendor and asset risks belong in the enterprise risk picture.
- One audit trail is easier to defend than three.
- Shared identity and workflows reduce effort for everyone.
- Buy in stages — standalone first, suite later.
The cost of separation
- Vendor risks never reach the risk register.
- Asset data is re-entered for audits and assessments.
- Each tool has its own users, roles and approvals.
- The board sees three partial pictures.
What integration delivers
| Integration | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Vendor residual risk flows into the GRC risk register | One view of enterprise risk |
| Asset inventory feeds control evidence | Less evidence collection |
| One sign-in and role model | Simpler access governance |
| One My Work inbox | Fewer missed tasks |
| One audit trail | Simpler audits |
| Cross-product analytics | A single board narrative |
Standalone or suite
Integration does not require buying everything at once. Start with the most pressing need — often third-party risk or the asset inventory — and add the others on the same platform when ready.
A phased path
- Start with the product that removes the most manual work.
- Connect single sign-on and roles.
- Add the second product on the same platform.
- Turn on data flows — vendor risks into the risk register, assets into evidence.
- Produce one combined board report.
Questions for vendors
- Can each product be licensed separately?
- Do the products share identity, audit trail and analytics?
- How do data flows between products work?
- Can separate deployments be connected by API?
- What happens to our data if we stop one product?
What auditors notice
Auditors spend much of their time reconciling data between systems: does the vendor register match procurement, does the asset inventory match the risk assessment? A single platform with one audit trail and consistent identifiers removes most of that reconciliation, which shortens audits and reduces findings about inconsistent records.

Frequently asked questions
Is a suite more expensive?
Not necessarily; shared infrastructure and administration reduce total cost compared with three separate tools.
Can we keep our existing GRC tool?
Yes — integrate through APIs, then consolidate when contracts allow.
What should we start with?
The area with the most manual effort or the closest regulatory deadline.
