Turning risk and governance into cost savings

If your risk and governance work lives across spreadsheets and different tools, progress slows down. Teams end up spending time tracking progress, chasing owners and pulling evidence together only when someone asks for it. 

NAVEX One Risk & Governance software centralizes policies, controls and risk activity in one place, with automated workflows and a clear record of actions and approvals.

Risk and governance ROI calculator FAQs

  • How do you calculate ROI for risk and governance programs?

    ROI compares what you get back each year to what you spend. For risk and governance programs, the clearest inputs are time saved and direct cost reductions tied to policy work, risk assessments and vendor onboarding. If you include risk-related cost reduction, keep it specific and supportable.

  • What inputs affect the ROI estimate?

    Your ROI estimate is based on your employee count and the hours you enter for three activities each month: updating policies, managing enterprise risk assessments and onboarding vendors. If you manage third parties, that also factors into the estimate. For calculations on other areas of your risk and compliance program, take a look at our other compliance program ROI calculators.

  • How does centralizing policy, vendor and enterprise risk work reduce costs?

    Centralization reduces admin overhead from duplicated tracking and status chasing across tools. It also cuts rework by keeping ownership, approvals and evidence attached to the workflow instead of spread across files and inboxes. The result is less paid time spent coordinating the process.

  • How does integrated risk management improve audit readiness?

    Integrated risk management improves audit readiness by keeping audit evidence and approvals connected to the work as it happens. Instead of pulling documents from different places and reconciling versions, you can point auditors to a traceable record of risk decisions, policy changes and related controls. That shortens audit prep and reduces back-and-forth during requests.

  • When do organizations typically begin to see ROI?

    ROI starts showing up after teams adopt the workflow and run a meaningful amount of work through it. Many organizations see early impact first in recurring activities like policy updates, scheduled risk assessments and vendor onboarding follow-up.
