American Axle and Manufacturing
A world leader in the design, engineering, testing, validation and manufacturing of driveline, drivetrain and chassis systems, related components, and metal formed products, AAM is a multi-billion dollar company, one of the largest automotive suppliers in the world. As a publicly traded, global business with 32 locations around the globe, AAM has complex compliance requirements: Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA, and the EU Data Privacy Directive, to name a few. More importantly, as a key supplier to its clients’ just-in-time manufacturing processes, AAM cannot afford downtime and must minimize any availability risks to production IT systems.
Over the years, AAM’s needs have evolved. AAM originally engaged TruArx to perform an annual Security Index Assessment (SIA). The security assessment not only identified technical vulnerabilities, it prioritized them based on the criticality of the business processes and assets impacted as well as the likelihood and severity of the threats the vulnerabilities left AAM exposed to. The result was an analysis that unified business and technical stakeholders around a common understanding of the issues facing the business and the plan required to resolve them.
To continue the momentum and make SIA-quality risk and compliance analysis an operational component of AAM’s IT risk and compliance program, AAM invested in TruComply, TruArx’ IT GRC application. The original focus was North America but based on a successful track record, TruComply is now being rolled out globally in 2010 and will be used for SOX 404 self-assessments. Further, to meet AAM’s aggressive goals under the constraints of tight operating budgets, AAM is utilizing TruArx’ Managed Compliance and Risk Services.
“TruArx Managed Compliance and Risk Services is an excellent value proposition for AAM. The deliverables that TruArx can produce would be hard to replicate at twice the cost. That they can deliver this is a testament to their experienced consulting team, proven methodologies, and their investment in TruComply.”
