CPS 230 & CPS 234 software capabilities
Operational Risk Management
Create a best-practice operational risk management program. Build risk registers, categorize and rate risk, set KRIs, and perform online risk assessments. Monitor risk levels and establish a risk appetite. Set controls to reduce risk and perform control testing. Formulate risk treatment plans with automated workflows and alerts. Easily report on risk with a variety of out-of-the-box reports & dashboards.
Third-Party risk management

Build a vendor library capturing – critical data around contract details, cost, contacts, and monitor ongoing performance against SLAs and KPIs. Roll out vendor risk assessments online via our vendor portal. Link to third-party risk intelligence providers via API integrations to understand vendor risk in terms of financial stability, ethical standpoint, legal & regulatory convictions, and cybersecurity posture. Report on vendor performance and third-party risks via a series of automated dashboards & reports.
Manage & resolve incidents
To align with the new CPS 230 & CPS 234 standards, the Camms software includes best-practice incident reporting capabilities. Staff can easily log incidents, hazards, near-misses or cyber incidents via online forms with all data feeding directly into the platform. Automated workflows escalate the incident to the relevant stakeholders and facilitate effective case management and route cause analysis – until the incident is resolved and closed. Teams can run reports to understand where incidents are occurring to implement effective controls, and incidents can easily be linked back to the relevant risks.
Implement business continuity plans
To comply with CPS 230 requirements, utilize the Camms platform to establish effective business continuity plans – ensuring operational resilience during a crisis. Identify critical business processes and develop a business process register. Create BCM plans, conduct online Business Impact Assessments (BIAs), perform business process modelling, activate BCM plans based on logged incidents, and monitor the status of recovery operations.
Information Security
Uphold information security standards to align with CPS 234 requirements by managing cyber risk, implementing effective controls, and performing regular control & vulnerability testing. Use the platform to clearly define information security roles & responsibilities, capture & resolve incidents, and establish a defined process to notify APRA of information security incidents.
Policy management
Establish a policy library and manage policy changes, approvals, signoffs, and attestations. Capture critical details regarding each policy (including IT Security policies) and view reports on compliance and employee attestations.
Audit management
Plan and schedule any internal and external audits (including your APRA CPS 230 and CPS 234 audits). Use best-practice workflows and forms to schedule and map out audit requirements. Internal auditors can enter the findings using online forms to feed the data into the platform. Recommendations can be implemented using best-practice case management workflows. Teams can track recommendations and actions by linking audits back to risks and risk treatments where relevant. This provides complete transparency and enables adequate reporting.
Demonstrate compliance
Firms can use the Camms platform to demonstrate compliance with CPS 230, CPS 234 and other obligations, regulations, standards, and policies. Organizations can set up an obligations library and monitor compliance by implementing step-by-step workflow processes and checks. Receive notifications of regulatory updates from your preferred regulatory provider directly into the platform and implement a best-practice regulatory change management process.
