A new Operational Risk Management Framework (ORMF) and System of Record (Helios) went live in March 2017. In H2 2017, a PRA review endorsed the fitness of the ORMF and the Helios implementation.

However, the PRA advised HSBC that the overall Non-Financial Risk (NFR) domain required fundamental remediation, integration and alignment with the ORMF, and that Helios should be established as the NFR GRC Platform.

An NFR Transformation Programme has been established spanning risk management across Operational Risk, RC, FCR, Finance (SoX) and Procurement (TPRM). Key business outcomes include the delivery of :

· A Global Reg Mapping solution founded on the integration of the Rapid & Helios systems

· A Cloud based NFR Reporting & Analysis solution with data sourced from Helios and other NFR sub-ledger systems

· Helios as the single repository of all NFR Issues & Actions

· Integration & alignment into Helios of the FCR EWRA, Finance (SoX) and Procurement (TPRM) risk assessments.
